Popcornalicious. This was an absolute hoot and exactly what was needed from a summer blockbuster: lots of energy, explody things, overthetopness, hot guys, and a complete lack of stick-up-arse, as they say in the vernacular. It made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion and permitted the consumption of butter drenched popcorn and high fructose corn syrup. What more could a gal want? Hell, there was even an interesting female character who was more than eye candy and actually talked to another female character about something other than getting a date with some hot guy. Wow, my cup runneth over!

Erratic. This was a little like a roller coaster ride, zooming up to brilliantly good and down to ditch water dull. Can’t recommend it really but there are some great little bits and pieces hidden along the way. The visuals are spectacular though why anyone would need to watch this in 3-d is beyond me. I love that we have a heroine who squashes her buckle and comes through to win the day. Plus the white queen is one of the creepiest, supposedly good guys, you’ll ever come across. She was brilliant. Somehow in the end this film didn’t amount to more than the sum of its parts and certainly left me wondering why on earth it was made.
