For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Expected more
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
