Seems like every time I get pumped up for a movie lately I get disappointed, maybe I set my expectations to high. The time machine wasn’t bad, but it was average at best. Parts of it seemed like a cartoon that was filmed live, if that makes any sense. The usually solid Pearce seemed like he was overacting in the first act. Somehow I think that may be the directors fault. In one scene it almost seemed Pearce and Addy where acting in a play and a bad one at that. It did move along at a fast pace, but the whole Eloi/Morlock thing was poorly done. Everyone already knows that special effects were very good and the vision of 2030 was very well done. Jones was a treat but I can’t buy that the operating system survived almost a million years.
I’m very excited about spider-man. I can only hope Raimi comes through for us.
