Disappointing. I was so looking forward to this movie. The advertising really whetted my appetite and I went into the cinema with great expectations. Sadly I discovered that the music just wasn’t up to the job. There are about two decent songs in the production and the rest just sounds like one long moan of sameness. The visuals reinforced this monotony thought there were moments that were quite stunning but certainly not enough to effectively engage my interest for more than momentary pleasure. The threat of falling asleep was ever present. I think Tim needs to look at finding some new line of exploration as this is merely more of the same and adding nothing new to things he’s already said.
