This movie has many of the right ingredients to make a great movie: to have fantasy characters live in today's world is from my point of view wonderful, it has so many advantages. The action and effects are top-notch, no complaints about the actors, and the one liners are surprisingly good... but it's not enough.
Not one single character have depth, there's no character development whatsoever and there's at least ten characters I would love to know more about.
Since I know "nothing" of the characters I don't understand their motives and sometimes very strange behavior, I'm not even sure which ones that are the bad guys.
The ingredients could make a great tv show or mini series (perhaps 5 one hour episodes) but instead falls flat. If they would have added 20 minutes of (good and believable) explanatory flashbacks I might have given it a 9 instead of a 5.
