The fight scenes were the only part that didn't have me yawning.
Judging by reaction in the theatre and on this board, I'm not going to have many supporters on this.
P.S. Did anyone see the costumes at Chinook? |
I didn't go to Chinook, the costumes would have been fun to see. I didn't see any costumes at Sunridge.
A definite weakness of the movie is that the story assumes you've seen the prerequisite movies - without those, even the character development is hard to follow. It's very comic book-y in that sense - you're joining a serialized story mid-stream, and it's not the easiest jumping on point for new viewers. I don't think there's a great way around this without a ton of additional exposition in a movie that is already almost three hours long. And for fans of the movies to date, it's really a non-issue.
