All the reviews I've read so far seem to agree with my reaction: way overrated, more style than substance, no new profound message here and yes, it took great fortitude and forbearance to see it through to the end. My head is still ringing from the endless meaningless action and special effects sequences. I do not feel the slightest bit informed nor uplifted from having watched it through to the end. I will not be recommending it. Yes, I picked up on the message loud and clear about being kind and that it's ok to be gay and that parents need to let go but never stop loving their kids. But how is that profound or new?
