This movie is so boring I had to watch it in installments. Some folks say it blows your mind but I just think it blows. I probably over-rated it as a 4 but mostly because of the special effects. Weak plot, too much jumping around, WAY too long. Even the battle scenes drug on much too long. Thinning the herd may have been the best end solution for the movie. Too bad it didn't happen in the first 30-45 minutes. I was ready to dissolve into ashes by the time the credits were ready to roll. I think the people that loved this movie beyond compare are the same folks that would wait in line for 2-3 days for the release of the new iPhone.
