You Need to See the Uncut Version (DVD).
1 February 2008
Having watched the regular release version I was somewhat confused as to what was going on, though I was able to surmise the base elements of the plot, but when I saw the uncut version with the scenes left in, things made a lot more sense.

The plot seems a bit obscure at first; unless you're sharp, you're not going to be able to follow it. That is all I will say about that.

It's true the acting wasn't magnificent but I really don't know what everyone is complaining about. Plenty of action, yes, and Milla Jovovich looks great. I thought it was a pretty good watch myself, and I am in the minority there. I definitely don't think it's a waste of time, though it is a bit dark. It's now in my DVD collection, in fact.

Rent it, watch the uncut version. Though not my favourite movie of all time, I enjoyed it.

good family entertainment

Warning: Spoilers
Granted there were moments that the acting could have been better, but overall I thought this was a good solid movie for kids. It's true too that this movie was predictable in its ending, but why does every movie have to have a wild twist? If you want a movie for shock and surprise elements, there are plenty of those too. That wasn't the mission of this one. Rather it takes on the tone of an Aesop's fable, and what's wrong with that? It does incorporate a bit too much on the order of "gross jokes" but certainly I've seen worse cinematic crimes committed. Bottom line: my kids loved it. And that's why we went. I liked it too. It was actually better than what I was expecting.
