I guess its all about expectations... this film didn't have much of a soul compared to the original. I think it could have been great, but rather than work on the story and character development they went with flash and it largely failed.
I really felt bored through much of the movie... my wife even fell asleep which looked more entertaining
Again, its not awful... but much like Alice in Wonderland it just doesn't really grab your attention.
I gotta agree with GB...movie had no real heart. If they were gonna change the original story, at least they could have made it a better story. Afterall, they have the advantage of seeing and reading the original movie and script.
The problem with the movie for me is ALL it was was a popcorn movie, the 3D didn't add ANYTHING to the experience (glad I saw it for free at a pre-screening) and almost NONE of the characters were fleshed out at all! I found myself not caring for any of them. When they died or left the "quest", I could care less.
The film itself was very "meh". I didn't hate it, or fee like my childhood had been defiled... but it also felt very hollow and less like a quest and more like a series of events strung together.
My wife said the same thing and she has never seen the original. This hits the nail on the head and sums up the whole movie in my opinion.
If you could care less about stuff like plots, antagonist, story & character development, you'll love it!
But if you do care for stuff like that, don't spend your loot expecting to get it from Titans.
