Just watch the trailer on Youtube, skip the movie!
What I loved most: Great official trailer!
I had anticipated going to watch this movie after viewing the excellent official trailer on youtube. Unfortunately, the movie did not match up to expectations, and turned out a little bland. It was okay, but all the most interesting and entertaining parts are already in the trailer.
