OK but not as good as I expected

Rating: 6/10 (30 October 2011)

Visually stunning, this movie lacks what makes the difference between a super movie and good one: a thrilling and clever storyline. Spielberg's Masterpieces like ET, Raiders of the lost ark etc.. made me expect much more. Only the visual part was fantastic, the 3-D effect was also a perfect addition in my opinion. A real work of art. However, to my regret, the magic did not happen today. I felt this movie was more at the level of Peter Jackson's King Kong ... not convincing in the end. I found the story too disorganized and too distant from the original comics series. The pace of the story also did not work for me. It is too action packed and, for a first movie, the characters are not enough 'constructed' to me. There were some good parts but some really bad ones (the Baghard scene with the Castafiore, the fight at the end ...), and not enough funny parts. It is a good attempt but it falls a bit short in the end, I think.
