7/10

It was pretty good, albeit over-hyped, and the effects were amazing. At times they assumed the stupidity of the audience as Hollywood movies often do (after reading Benjamin's diary where he said that he would never forget the blue eyes of the girl he met that day, the young daughter turns to her aged mother and says "Do you realize that he loved you from the moment he met you?", to ensure we all knew the little girl was her), but when you look around and see that some people actually do require this assistance to understand any part of a movie that requires thought - not of their own fault, of course; they may be relatively intelligent people who have only become accustomed to turning off their perceptive powers upon entering the theater - you can accept these moments and still appreciate a well told story, with acting and special effects that do not overshadow, but instead add to the experience.
