But like I said, I went with it.D.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11517891007414596722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822042615030551178.post-29348368314891929602012-03-08T19:07:19.577+11:002012-03-08T19:07:19.577+11:00Wow.

This was a toughie because I struggled to remember anything special about the film (leaving it untouched until the night before the embargo) and trying to recap the plot was a challenge on its own. <br /><br />I wasn't a fan, as we discussed, and the age of the story is something I did regrettably overlook when comparing it to 'everything'. <br /><br />Yes, there is some fun to be had for an audience member willing to go with it, but I think ones engagement is hampered by a convoluted story, and the fact that the visual spectacle just isn't that spectacular. Even the arena sequence disappointed me, because that was what had piqued my interest in the film. <br /><br />Anyway, it is sure to have mixed reviews. You argue both sides brilliantly. As always, it will be up to the public to decide the success of this one.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.com
