What a yawnfest

Rating: 3/10 (15 October 2007)

Watched this on DVD and was seriously tempted to fast forward over huge chunks of this film. About an hour could be cut without losing anything but seemingly endless shots of Mary-Jane in yet another mood, or suffering from PMT or blubbing from some pointless tiff. Puh-leeze, we just don't care about her. Dump her from the film and you might end up with a decent one-hour action movie where you don't forget who the villains are after yet another "oh let's go check on how Mary-Jane is coping with yet more angst" scene. Sheesh...
Seems I need at least 10 lines to qualify for a review. But seriously, there isn't anything more to be said about this film. Well OK, let's try...
Yeh OK the special effects are good, but then pretty well every film these days comes out with effects, so that's just not enough to impress any more. Maybe that's a good thing since films will be forced to return to what made good cinema in the days before flashy graphics: a decent plot and engaging script.
Nuff said.
