Just ok.Plot development is predictable.
Actors are phoning it in....sonambulism has set in.
Once or twice you can see Mcguire acting during a closeup, but the impulse quickly passes. The downside of his closeups are that it is clear that he is too old to believably play someone just a few years out of high school.
Oh and Kirsten Dunst sings, not once, but twice.
'Nuff said.
Action secquencies are ok- lots of CGI, but quality is getting better.
At almost 2hr30min running time, it's about 30-40min too long. Better editing would have made a more cohesive film.
It will generate a big domestic box office and end up very profitable for the studio and producers.
#4 will definately be made, beyond that, who knows (or cares).
Sorry for the negative review.
Best,
Ross
