Ack! Boring

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2011)

What a disappointment! Even the so-called "action" was sub-standard. The great actors must have been directed not to emote. And why were they paired with totally boring clones?? (Clones in that they were all boring). Maybe I could grant Chris Hemsworth a silver star for displaying a slight bit of charm. Subtotal: No engaging plot, no engaging dialog, no engaging acting, no engaging action. Yeah, yeah, clash, clash. I frequently enjoy "mindless" movies, but not this time. To top it off, the graphics were so annoying that whenever we left the desolate New Mexican desert for the colorfully depicted alternative world (or whatever that was), I mentally squirmed. Remind me not to frequent any more movies directed by Kenneth Branagh; he seems as convenient a patsy as any of them.
