All hype and mass marketing!! Don't fall for it!!

Rating: 2/10 (23 March 2012)

This is yet another shining example of MASSIVE marketing done by the typical Hollywood goons to get you into the theater that first weekend before the word spreads. There is no violence, shock factor, adrenaline rush, originality, or anything else that they're marketing this movie to be. They also beat the dead horse of "shaky cam vision" yet again. They continually and purposely shook the camera and kept it blurred out of focus to the point of ridiculousness. During the VERY FEW fight scenes there were, they deliberately shook the camera like crazy and did very fast edits so you couldn't see any of what was going on, which probably kept them well within they're PG13 goal. Seriously, this movie wasn't even remotely close to anything higher than a PG. It was pathetic. Soooooo much media hype everywhere. What a marketing scam Hollywood has stooped to in order to fill seats. They wouldn't have to if they put out a decent story. I may read the book someday, since it's supposedly good, but any potential the book may have is certainly not in this movie.
