..not great, but certainly good enough to earn praise (and solid box office #s)

this film certainly had its flaws (over-acting by the ENTIRE cast), but its still entertaining. while i was a bit disappointed in the vets (elba, hunnam, perlman, & martini), i'm placing most of that fault on the del toro.

that and a weak script.

the premise was fine. its not that this story needed a ton of details and dialogue, but its appears they spent most of their efforts on cgi. in the end, the good guy saves the world & gets the girl. isn't that what all summer blockbusters are about?
