Expected more from the concept, didn't like to know I was being misguided

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2013)

I've heard some good things about this movie, seeing my brother told me it was something quite different and I knew it had quite the star cast, so seeing I liked the combination of Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in Zombieland, I was very interested in seeing this.
At first I didn't know where this movie wanted to go. There was a lot of misdirection and blank holes to be filled. Figuring that they would be filled in on the course of the movie, I continued watching. (I'm a curious guy.) Step by step, more and more of the objective of the 4 Horsemen was revealed, learning more and more why they were doing what they were doing. Now, I like a bit of misguiding, but I don't like to know that I'm being misguided. It makes the movie progress slow and the tid-bits of action and special effects feel like they were included to up the pace. It's like watching a mediocre magic show, knowing you'll be misguided in the usual kind of ways.
There is nothing wrong with the acting, you can't go wrong with this cast. I just feel that there was more in this concept than there was done with and you can't only rely on the actors to fill that in. All in all, it was an entertaining movie and I gave it a 7 because the twist on the end surprised me. I had a feeling it would go in that direction, but I couldn't put my finger on it. So +1 point for that.
