I wasn't expecting much from Bloom here. But he fits in well in these type of roles & seemed born to play this one. He was much better here than he was in Troy or anything else I've seen him in. Everything else in the movie is so good that it would take a terrible performance to ruin it & he managed to avoid that & be quite good at times as well. Similar to Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. There was so much else goin on that I enjoyed. it allowed me to overlook the fact that main actor is someone I usually don't enjoy.
