Let's face it, had it been Jason Momoa instead of Daniel Craig, you would have given this an 8. :P

Oh dear, missed tickets for this one but suspect I would have been in the disappointed camp, so just as well.

You'll have the high ground soon enough when he grows up and apologises for his previous tastes :D

What this film was missing was some humour, something to make it more light hearted. There were several weak attempts at comedic one liners but they fell flat.

Once again I thought the best part of the film was the opening act and it never reaches that quality again. I actually dozed for about 20-30 mins in the middle (though that had more to do with exhaustion rather than being bored to sleep). This could have been so much better and entertaining if the script had been stronger.

I actually want to reduce my original rating. Now I think it earns 4.5/10.

I don't think you would have missed much, if ever there was a good film to fall asleep in, then this had to be it!

Im sure you'll get in dude. Whenever im convinced its overbooked i always get in. Make of that what you will. If they are overbooked though, then go home, get 2 tv's next to eachother, put True Grit on one and Alien vs Predator on the other, and just shake your head between them. Its about the same experience
