Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Saw it, of course. Problems: Theron isn't the most emotive actress: who cares what happens to her? Noomi? Same

thing. These aren't serious characterizations, they're 1-dimensional action figures.
The overall problem was weak casting. Guy Pearce's elderly makeup didn't look real. His mannerisms weren't "right," either. A waste of a good actor. Rapace's boyfriend was so flimsy he seems like a special effect in himself. Who was that guy?
They didn't appear to have enough emotion between them to even be friends: no establishing context.
And that brings up a serious problem: No humor in this film, none! NO banter between the characters, nada. It takes itself WAY too seriously.
The story? Purposefully (let's hope so, no one consciously write so unclearly) disconnected, vague, and pointless.
For the Game Boy lovers: you'll simply adore this. Lots of explosions, FX, quick camera movements and LEGENDARY noise levels.
The trailer of the next James Bond, otoh, looked very interesting.
