Such a frustrating disappointment
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The bad point - the strange idea to use a serie for a 90 minutes film saying, in essence, nothing. The good points - Idris Elba effort to save his role and the locations. And, sure, the good intentions of director. Short, invitation to read the first novel.
Movie was ok.. didn't live up to its hype.. dissapointed
Okay, I admit: I am ready to watch any movie featuring Idris Elba. Unfortunately, he does not have the refined powers of discrimination exhibited by the likes of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. Basically, our favorite binge tv star (The Wire) will accept any and every script. So watch this nonsense, if you must, but I cannot recommend it except, of course, for the glimpses of Idris.
It would have needed to be 2.5 hrs long or longer but the novels had so much more to add to the screen Adaptation. I ( unlike many) loved the casting. Alba worked as Gunslinger for me.
