Anyway, I figured if I was gonna see this at all it should be in the theater with the 3D and stuff. I dozed in a few of the slow places in between action scenes. This is not a new criticism but it felt like watching a video game cut scene that never lets you play. Sometimes it would look real nice but then a female character would appear looking like something modelled on a 386 like it was for a Sega Saturn game or something. Plus with them trying to make the characters look reminiscent of the actors... I don't get why they didn't shoot live action. More expensive I guess. Shame.

So I'm not sure how much I slept through but it seemed awfully long. The 3D did help but even that got old with all the oh watch out there's a spear comin atcha! stuff. Glad I saw it in the theater. I can't imagine me liking it the tiny bit I did at home in 2D.
