It's horrific if you have to pause a movie every ten minutes because it's just so damned slow. This is the quietest, most-whispered, languid summer blockbuster I've ever seen. I'm all for introspection and longer shots, but that's different than a movie that takes its time to say nothing important. There are a few exciting scenes but they're few and far between. Adding to the problems are a plot that is literally "titular character = bad," and a couple other smaller b-plots that don't really go anywhere nor do they make you want to find out where they're leading.

This review is scathing because I wanted this movie to be good. I was rooting for it, especially with the great cast, cinematography, special effects. But it ranks up there with Dark Phoenix as "slowest blockbuster of the summer."
