The film had that Paul Anderson look. If you've seen any of his movies, you'll know what I'm talking about. They all have that look, which I guess is a plus, a director always wants his work to stand out. But that isn't always a good thing, especially if your films all seem to look like video games. I keep hoping that he will come out with something totally original, or at least seem original. All we get are entertaining action flicks that are ultimately forgettable. Maybe next time.

The bottomline is that as someone just looking to be entertained, this will certainly fill the bill. As someone hoping for something more, it is just another on the list of frustrating films this year. Films that have some really good ideas but then either drop them or don't take them as far as they should have, movies like Van Helsing and Chronicles of Riddick. So much wasted potential. Like I mentioned earlier: more like a wasted opportunity than an outright failure.
