Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
