Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2013)

Reminded of a simple lesson, and that's to appreciate movie reviews but not necessarily allow them to dictate your decision whether to watch or not. I would have missed out on a great movie if I allowed the negative reviews to influence my choice to watch. Very little gore but lots of action and very high-paced. To me it seemed like a bunch of other movies from different genres meshed into one. Plot is pretty cool, acting was good, effects were great. Couple of scenes/elements cost the movie a couple of stars for me but would still highly recommend this. For those who whines about it being nothing like the book just keep in mind not all movies *based* on novels aren't always *adaptations* but can still be appreciated in its own right.
