A poor experience...

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2003)

Me and a few friends of mine saw the MR last sunday. And I must say that I'm not impressed. The second the lights came back on, I said "give me my money back!". During the movie both me, and the guy to my left yawned through "cheesy one liners", time stealing raves, and cleavage/nudity/orgasm that the movie didn't need. For the first time in my life i started chatting with someone in a cinema. Just normal chit-chat to make the time go by faster, but he had a good point when he said: "I wonder how this movie is to someone who hasn't seen the first one."
During the movie we get 4500 different pices of fact thrown at us, and "To be concluded". It seems that the whole movie was just to have us see the next one, and then to understand both. I read somewhere that the movie has strings to the first/second testament, Hades, Dante, aztec religion, and other books/writings in the same style. But if the ordinary Joe don't understand it, then the moviemakers has failed.
And over to the sound... The first one has an enormous lack of bass, and has also little activity in the rear channels. I hoped that WB would at least do a better job on this, but sadly no...
My conclution: I reserve the right to call it a crappy moneytrap until I have seen the last one.
"...and some sort of fution", right?
