It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
