Visual Grandeur. But the film is boring most of the times.

Rating: 4/10 (23 November 2011)

Saw the movie at an advance screening with my friends. The first hour and half of the movie is quite boring. The visuals are good, sets are amazing but the movie lacks the pace. The trailer looks like the movie for the kids but I think they will feel bored watching the movie because it is a family sentimental drama.
I am a great fan of Martin Scorsese films but this one is not quite good as his other films. The kids Asa Butterfield and Chloë Grace Moretz did an amazing job and Ben Kingsley is superb.
I don't think these kind of drama films need 3D. I could have enjoyed this film more in 2D than 3D. But here and there there are couple of good 3D visuals.
If you like a good family sentimental drama film with slow pace then go and watch it, otherwise skip it.
