Long, dull and uninspiring

Rating: 4/10 (25 November 2016)

This is certainly not Harry Potter or anything like it. I gave it a 4 because the story-line is convoluted, the movie is long and dull with very few substantial scenes or narrative to keep the viewer enthralled. The sound of Eddie Redmayne's voice is also so muffled that it's sometimes hard to discern what he's saying.
I wish I could relate in my review what the story is about but it was so convoluted that I lost track. The movie also goes overboard on the special effects and quite frankly I've seen enough movies with monsters and aliens rampaging through the streets of a city and demolishing buildings and parks - is all that grand destruction really necessary? Save your money for the DVD release.
