Not As Good As I Was Expecting

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2009)

I did like "The Men Who Stare at Goats", however, it was not as good as I set my hopes for. This is one of those movies where the trailers and adds on television showed the funniest parts of the movie.
The story was neither here or there and I spent a majority of the time hoping they would really go somewhere, yet it never did.
I felt that the idea of the movie was very splendid, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
Clooney and Spacey were great as always. Bridges (who I am not quite as familiar with) was enjoyable as well. McGregor was not bad, yet nothing special.
Overall, not bad acting, not bad ideas, but the story could have been better. Check it out if you have a chance but don't worry if it passes you by.
