Too entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2001)

The top line might sound absurd, but thats exactly my problem with this movie.
It is just too much mainstream. Plenty of good jokes, good action, very good effects, very good design of the sets, good actors and everything, its all there. But on the other hand, the movie nearly never lets you breath, jumping from one event to the next without any pause, the story never really surprises, the characters lack any characterization, its just fun and action, action and fun.
Following the mainstream is not in general a bad idea, but in this case there is nothing but mainstream, and in this extreme form it is really boring.
