BAD, BAD, BAD, stay away at all cost! I firmly believe that most positive reviews here are written by a PR company hired to save this movie somehow. It cannot be saved. Don't be suckered like I was last night. The movie is HORRIBLE. The characters are flat (that they are in 3D does not help), their actions are not motivated, the story is lame. There's is nothing. It is like a mixture of batman and robin (with shwartz as the ice man) and mask 2, with all character (if any) gone. Natalie Portman, shame on you! It is too early for you to cash out. Don't look at Hopkins, he has some great roles, so he can do it. Battle scenes are messy and dialog is non-existent. It is hard for me to say anything positive about this one, other than 3D effects and CGI. Animation, scenery, and 3D are great. Therefore well deserved 3 stars.
