Not Epic, but better than that

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2006)

Fun movie, and I remember seeing it in theaters 4th of July weekend. It was a fun movie, definitely, had it's comic relief, it's quirks, it's action, it's good lines, it's 'bad' lines, but overall, it wasn't an epic movie. I have it in my collection, and wouldn't mind throwing it on here and there, but it wouldn't be a must-have-if-I-was-trapped-on-an-island type movie. Actually, no, it would be. Why? Because it's a really good movie, and BECAUSE it's not an epic, you can watch it more than once without feeling an overabundance of 'epicness'. I can't watch Lord of the Rings too often, because it's really long, but also, it's too much to take in casually. I think, after reviewing the movie in my head, I've decided this IS one of my favorite movies. Great movie, and I don't think you could go wrong with it.
