Got what I came for. I was reminded of movies from my childhood like Class of the Titans (1981) and Conan with Arnold in that they were larger than life and really went for the epic feel. These days however visuals that depend too heavily on CGI tend to leave us disappointed and this is part of how I felt with this movie. Not because they were not decent, is some cases really impressive however not where it counted which is during the action scenes there was never a sense of true peril for the protagonist and so despite the characters feeling fairly complete and the 'style' of the film being lighter than it could have been, it just did not feel like there was any real tension to create a tempo and make me care about how it would turn out. In the end I feel this is down to the direction and editing and it could have been tweaked to be much better even with the same material. In essence, very much like an open world computer game that gives you quests and no real urgency to do any of them right now just as long as you get them done... eventually, no pressure.. just cruise though the story until you get to the end.

This is a 140.000.000 million dollars movie and that is what they produce? Silly special effect, poor acting and a very tedious story. 2 hours wasted, so not watch unless you are 10 yo

A glossy spectacle with impresive visuals... but that's all. Most of the characters are too bland to care about and the story is one that you've seen dozens of times before. Ultimately it felt like watching a Disney cartoon with all the lack of depth you'd expect from a show aimed at children.
