Ooooft. Where to start?

I went in knowing nothing as I deliberately avoided reviews and additional trailers. I wanted this to be a pure experience as I thought 'Spielberg and John Williams?! Of course this will be a memorable cinematic experience!"

Sadly wrong.

The first hour was so dull, we nearly left the cinema! I've never done that before. It perked up mid-way, and I thought we were going to get into some highs or lows. But not really.

The pace of the movie was consistent. But it was horribly dull and I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. The actor playing 'Sam' was very good, and I'm sure he will have a great career.

But this is a solid fail for me.
