    Bloated and forgettable, but the special effects are great
    Starting with the good things, it is brilliant technically and visually. The cinematography is great, the editing is crisp, the special effects are superb and the set-pieces are somewhat exciting. Plus the music score is pretty good.

    However, it is very much inferior to the wonderful 1972 film in terms of script, story and acting.

    The script is clichéd and cheesy at times, the story is bloated as a result of cramming too many plots and situations in, the pacing is uneven being rushed one minute and draggy at other parts and the characters lack depth. Also the acting isn't great, Josh Lucas is a bland lead while Kurt Russell tries his best to elevate the adventure but the script sets him adrift. It is pretty much the same with Richard Dreyfuss and Emmy Rossum too. Overall, was great visually but it is bloated and forgettable. In some ways it is an example of a movie that is all style and little substance. 4/10 Bethany Cox
