We expected more. The only thing saving this movie for us was the fact that we enjoy Tommy Lee Jones. Where to classify this movie? The story and the characters, even the villain all work toward a children's film. So why the violence? It certainly doesn't beef out the movie; it just seems incongruous to the humor and cuteness. We can't enjoy it with the kids and it's too cutesy to take seriously.
There was no scene setting, no use of color to set the mood. The sky is blue, the sea is beautiful, the palm trees are waving and even the music is upbeat while people are dying right and left. There is no suspense, since the action is highly predictable. Although the characters developed, there was little attention paid to that. There was love and infatuation, but no romance. Certainly not up to the standards of The Pirates of the Caribbean, or the Temple of Doom. Sorry folks, we gave it a 5.
