Yawn...

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2010)

After watching the movie three times, it still leaves me underwhelmed. I've not seen the book nor had I ever heard of it previously. If the movie is true to the original story, I think I would have probably not finished it. There's a reward at the end of the movie but very little up to that point.
I kept forcing myself to watch a little further thinking that I was going to miss out on some high point and it just never really happened. I found myself actually watching birds on the feeder without knowing that my attention had been lost.
I guess if I were to tell a friend about the movie, I'd say, watch it for the effects but if there's another movie on another channel that you've heard good things about, switch and only come back when you have some time to kill. ...A lot of time at 2 hours and 41 minutes.
