Third Time is a charm

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2010)

I have tried this 3 times and hated it it twice. In fact never finished it.This time I am enjoying it. It is, without doubt,total piffle , but if you do not take it seriously and treat it as a comedy then it is entertaining piffle. If it is possible in an action movie (because that is what this is) there is too much action-it is exhausting to watch. The physical feats that the main characters perform are impossible and inventive if a little ridiculous. David Wenham has fun with his part as does Jackman and Beckinsale but I bet they were glad when it was over-though Kate has done similar roles since. CGI is fine, if used economically, but it is all over this and detracts from the visual rather than enhancing it as it is easily spotted. Much more enjoyable, though , than I first thought.
