Saw this on Saturday instead of HSM3. YES!!!!!!! I was very relived.
I loved the cinematography of the movie, it was all carefully planned out and glossy and detailed. Very grungy, very dark, like the pages of a graphic novel, almost, which makes sense since the movie is based on a video game.
Having never played the game, I thought the story was engaging. The trailer is mysterious: I wasn't quite sure what was going on for the first half-hour, which is a good thing.
Acting not great, but they didn't pretend they were. They played their parts well enough, it really wasn't about them anyway.
A good movie to burn a Saturday night with. Better than wasting money on a Disney flick, that's for sure.
