I had no expectations, so I had very little to be unhappy about during this film. Louis Leterrier’s film really couldn’t go wrong. The story was written before people wrote stories, and is so grand and complex, that even a superficial re-telling is adequate.
I experienced the 2D version of this and was thankful for it. A friend felt the 3D version was too chaotic, with things being bombarded at you all the time. As we have learned with Pixar’s Up and then James Cameron’s Avatar, 3D is a much better and richer experience if it’s not forced on you, not rammed down your throat. Surely the days of arrows and rocks hurtling at you are over.
But back to the film. The acting style employed was Over-the-Top, but it was fine. The film was fun and didn’t pretend to be too serious. Liam Neelson has demonstrated his complete and utter contempt for acting in a ridiculously flat, re-hashed performance. This was hilarious.
So, sure, it sucked, but for some cheaps laugh, okay special affects and popcorn, go see it. Or maybe just play God of War
