I'm personally a huge fan of the "mind-drifting emotional investment" good movies can create. It's like you get "pulled" from reality, and become one with the movie. Although Tom Hardy and fellow cast gave a fantastic performance, the story itself had very little depth. I do feel that certain cast within the movie gave off a very tiresome and/or chore-like vibe of not being entirely in character; weren't invested in their roles. Overall, I think future collaborations with (Other franchise) writers and directors could sincerely benefit the character as a whole, and perhaps bring back that "Spark" that seems to have been lost with the writing of this particular film. An awesome character, and a great lead actor can never compensate for an uninteresting story. 5/5 pretty-ok I guess.
