Ever felt short -changed?

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2007)

I only ever write a review on something if it was spectacularly awful or so mind-blowingly good it's out of this solar system. On this occasion, the former applies. I have just wasted a notable portion of my time watching this snooze-fest. I am hugely disappointed that this movie turned out to be nothing, in my opinion, than an episode of rhetoric mumbo jumbo.
I liken it to the a Kings New Clothes scenario - everyone else can see it's supposed finery but all I see is nothing - like a piece of artwork that everyone's been raving about; you feel you SHOULD like it but you just can't.
The movie was, at times, slightly confusing, clumsy, and erratic. Although the pace was swift, it was nonetheless an uninspiring journey through a difficult plot which was executed poorly.
The ending was long and drawn out; the best bit being when one of the Hugh Jackman characters (apologies for not remembering which one - they all merged into one after a while) sprouted fauna from his body - and that was only because the special effects were interesting.
This movie was a challenge to watch with little reward at the end.
