I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

At first i thought that the mix reviews were due to the combination of genres, being this a cowboy, scifi and fantasy movie all at once. It wasn't untill the end i realized it was due to great and terrible moments this movie has. The first half of the movie was strong, from character introductions and storytelling to even editing. Halfway through things get abrupt, Carter had a full hour and a half of potential character development, yet they push his motivation in half a minute of screen time during an action sequence edited horribly with a montage sequence of the past. I understand that writers might have wanted this to be the breaking point, but directing missed heavily. From here on things go on a decline, not so much as story wise, but more of those as pacing, editing and overall acting. Movie that was firm with its idea but loose on its execution.

Why months before this movie came out in theaters did all media talk about how terrible it was. I've seen the movie dozens of times and enjoyed it each and every time. We even bought the Blue Ray. If we could leave all negativity aside when these movies hit theaters and let the fans decide through work of mouth I'm thinking these would do better. Also I love superhero movies but it's nice to have a one of movie that has tons of visual effects and a good story that doesn't include Ironman.

The effects and cinematography were great. The story could have been simpler to appeal to a broader audience. This is no doubt a high budget movie but fails to utilize it's resources to it's full potential. The story is confusing and not so interesting. The acting is so so only. I would recommend that one should watch this movie if haa extra time in hand.4/10

This was a well made film, the graphics was superb and the story line kept things a mystery, the characters were well played, it was a an awesome movie! Disappointed there apparently will be no Sequel! Hopefully a producing company will take this story and make it into more movies.
