Needs Fine Tuning

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2007)

This movie was cool entertainment on a very hot summer day, but I don't understand why it was given "10s" repeatedly. The dialog wasn't well written, unless you happened to be 13 years old. (with the exception of scenes involving Robert Deniro) The movie initially dragged, then hurled the viewer into adventure after explosive adventure. Special effects were beautiful, yet even novice movie goers noticed editing mistakes and scenes that "bumped" rather than flowed into one another. Costuming and sets were remarkable, as was the countryside in which it was filmed, but this movie appeared to lack the extra fine tuning and time it needed to have, to make it into the great movie it could have been.
