Had the potential to be great. Instead, just good.

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2012)

Pros: Very good, entertaining film! Plenty of talent went into this. Libertarians like myself in particular will love the anti-state, anti-war messages of the film, which shine through quite well.
Cons: Feels like what should have been an epic 3 1/2 to 4 hour long R-rated movie brutally cut down and condensed in order to reach a broader 'tween' audience with short attention spans. The reasons for doing so are obvious: draws in a wider audience and makes more money. This is understandable from a studio perspective, but the result is a good movie instead of a great one, which I find tragic, given its potential.
