Well, I’m behind the eight ball for this one, but I’m going to choose to view that as a good thing. It means that the entertainment journalists have all finished tripping over themselves in a vain attempt to praise this film. And boy, have they tried.
Granted, this isn't a terrible film. I wouldn’t call it "good" by any means, but it wasn’t awful either. But it is boring, which I would argue is the greater crime a movie can commit. I can laugh at a bad movie, but I can't escape a boring one.
When this movie was announced, my only thought was, “Why?” Nobody asked for this. When I heard that Spielberg would not be directing, I decided then and there I wanted no part of it. Then, I forgot about it thanks to the lack of solid marketing and my general disdain for all things...
