What a waste of time.

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2012)

Amazing film-making techniques, especially in 3D, but remarkably boring. A simplistic story with stereotypical acting. Without the digital effects and 3D, this would never have gotten the positive reviews it did get. One of Scorcese's worst films. The most interesting note is that the two actors from the wonderful "The History Boys", Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour, appear together and are terrific in this non-terrific movie. Also, Asa Butterfield has beautiful blue eyes. It also seems that dust-motes are visible throughout the film creating a visual annoyance. And finally we are allowed to see Sacha Baron Cohen spit as he speaks. Something I've waited all my life to see.
