Not what I expected!

Rating: 3/10 (24 March 2012)

I was actually very excited to watch this film and it was definitely not what I expected. The first half seemed to drag on so I waited anxiously for some action in the second which also followed with the same disappointment. Considering that this film was meant to be up there with the giants (Avatar etc), it doesn't even reluctantly meet that threshold!! It just lacked that 'wow' factor.. However, acting by the protagonist was absolutely brilliant, it was just the way to whole thing was put together. And those weird looking 'Vivienne Westwood-esqe' characters completely freaked me out. For me, this isn't one that will mark an era, it will be lost amongst movies like Stardust and The Chronicles of Narnia after the first one..
What a waste of a Saturday evening!
