Score: 4 out of 5 Limbs That You Can Stretch Impossibly
Review: I think the first thing I have to do is justify my score because I think that's what people are going to bust my balls the most about. I liked this movie, I read a lot of hate about this movie, I read a lot of hate in the months leading up to this movie. In many ways I think people were programmed to hate this movie which lead to a lot of stupid nit picking. I'm not above nit picking but I typically only start nit picking when there is nothing else for my brain to hold on to. If there is nothing of value beneath the surface than I have no choice but to focus on the surface. So I went into this movie as open as I possibly could be, critical but open. When so many people demand that you feel a particular way about something I think it's important to examine why. Alright, the score. The movie, at it's objective core, is well shot, well edited, for the most part well paced and well acted. The scenes are composed well and I can't take anything away from the principal cast because every single one of them did the best job they could and that's obvious and any weakness in the script, I feel, is more than made up for by everything else they did well. Just for those core competencies this movie gets a 3 out of 5. I give it the extra point because it tried for something different. It's success is up for debate but because it tried for something different it gets an automatic point.
