Disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2014)

First of all I want to declare that I haven't read the books. So I will only judge this movie out of a movie-based perspective, and it doesn't impress me.
We had a kids-free weekend and planned on watching a movie, this was the only movie in the cinema that was showed that night that some what appealed to us. I knew nothing about this movie before watching it, except J-Law was in it.
The movie was a huge disappointment. It got a childish touch and lack depth, but most of all it was very predictable. I was quiet easy to predict the outcome in this movie, not just the whole story but even smaller actions that took place. When the movie finished my wife and I just looked at each other and agreed that we wont be seeing the sequel at the cinema. We have watch the other movies but then on streaming sites, paying 150kr (around 19 USD) for one ticket is just not worth it.
A lot of new movies with the same "childish" touch have bump the scene the last years and non of them appeal to me. The recognition this movie is getting is just really flamboyant for a movie-enthusiast like me.
