The first film I've walked out of in 37 years...

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2011)

I've given this a four as it has a lot to be commended, including some nice cast members, some great eye candy and some beautifully designed and rendered CG. I've seen a lot of criticism for Rosie Huntington-Whitely which I found a bit unfair. She is, to borrow the vernacular, 'smoking hot', but she also gave a credible performance. Sure, she won't be troubling the Academy next year, but this is a Blockbuster action flick, not Richard III.
But my problem with this film is that it's SO DULL! Non stop action isn't exciting for long - it gets tedious quickly. When this film reached it's natural set piece finale and it still had an hour to run I just got up and walked out, and that was the first time in my life I've ever done that.
I'm sure this movie could be saved with some ruthless editing. It could lose an hour. A whole hour. Comfortably.
