..even as prequels have become the new hollywood cliché, this film had potential
however, that potential was heavily dependent on chemistry. the cast, the director, everything needed to gel in order to bring new light to a classic story. unfortunately, chemistry is where this film falls flat. franco & kunis felt forced like wrestlers in a steel cage match, while the rest of the cast didn't really offer much to build on.
the approach to the visuals is on par with modern cgi abilities, but once again hollywood abuses the 3D promo. beautiful imagery, yet 3D simply wasn't utilized well here. unfortunately, the musical elements that have always benefitted this film legacy was left out.
average, at best, and that's simply not good enough for such a storied franchise.
