Boring! Boring! Boring!

Rating: 1/10 (20 February 2012)

Wow! Soooo boring. From IMDb's high reviews and advertised trailers I was so not expecting that. I don't usually write reviews. Actually this is my first movie review. I simply don't normally feel I have a right to critique a subject I know so little about. I like to watch movies, but only certain types of movies. I don't keep up with directors or actors. Blah, blah, blah. But I felt compelled to write this review simply because I felt so tricked.
This movie is a great example of false advertising. It is marketed as an adventure with a mystery. Yet, it is neither of those. It is not that I did not like the adventure. It is that there was NO adventure to be had. It is not that I did not get the mystery. It is that there is NO mystery there! All this movie has going for it is that it is pretty. I didn't care for any of the characters. Felt no sympathy much less empathy for anything or anybody in this movie. And FYI - I'm the type that after many, numerous viewings of "How to Train Your Dragon", still shudders at the scene where Hiccup swallows the bite of regurgitated fish.
