Negative Positive
Title: Unexpectedly good.
Review: I was surprised how much I liked this movie. I approached it as a bit of action-adventure-comic book escape. It turned out to be quite a bit more than that. There is some serious thematic material subtly woven in, for example the strength of the original heart. And our expectation about who the bad guys really are gets turned on its head. I also really loved the chemistry between RDJ and Gwyneth Paltrow. They smoked in a beautifully understated way. All in all, I found it a very satisfying 2+ hours, me who is pretty much the polar opposite of a 12-year-old boy. (But fear not, there is plenty in the film to satisfy that heart as well. Very endearing, actually.) Two thumbs way up.
