While I liked the gory scenes, I agree that they seem made
for 3D. Very strange. It's almost as if this was intended, as so many films are
presently, to be a 3D blockbuster. After all, it seems to have all the makings
of a really fun adventure flick -- great cast, murder, a damsel in distress,
gunplay.
Yet, the end result is really flat. Nothing ends up being
really fun at all -- though the potential for fun was there. I wouldn't necessarily mind the hokey,
generic, script if it were all packaged in a fun movie. The only real enjoyment
I found came from mocking the movie moments that we've all seen previously in
countless other films.
I guess that the only question I have is this: was this film intended to be more, or is this just some boring movie that the filmmakers added Edgar Allan Poe into as a gimmick to sell tickets? I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
