Title: Something of a disappointment
Product review: I tend to make my reviews of products with hundreds of reviews brief since there is little to add to the existing ones.The bottom line is that this film has fabulous production values, great acting, wonderful action sequences, but a plot that is so thin as to be nonexistent. This movie almost fell in the same category as the wretched "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". What redeemed it in my eyes was the way the actors made the most out of the material they were given to work with. Jeff Bridges is particularly impressive in a dual role. The plot is nothing more than a few cliches strung together - growth of a rebellious son of a famous father under pressure, a monster created by a modern Frankenstein, fallen hero redeems himself at the final moment, etc. Surely the screenwriters can do better?But ultimately the acting and action kept me involved. Recommended, but Shakespeare this isn't.
