Pure action

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2015)

I confess that the movie plot didn't get me going, but the action scenes are spot-on and beautiful to watch. Every action scene is detailed in an impressive way, making it impossible to find a mistake in it. Of course the movie is not realistic, but I think that's the purpose. The makeup artists were amazing and all the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. It's fun to watch and to appreciate the art in it. One thing I would criticize is the lack of deep emotional scenes in the script. The story is actually good and the flow of the events is great, but somehow it was not possible to connect with the great characters. I don't know why I felt that way, but reading others reviews, I realized that I'm not the only one. Anyway, I recommend the movie, because it is admirable, but is definitely not even close of being one of my favorites.
