POSITIVES…
- Taron Egerton continues to be as charming as ever.
- Jamie Foxx was also good in this.
- Ben Mendelsohn is awesome hamming it up as the villain.
- Action adventure sequences are enjoyable enough to watch.
- The overall modern style directing, visuals, and tone to what should be a straight period piece, did add a nice entertaining flavor to the whole movie.
NEGATIVES…
- The modern style feel of it all isn’t going to go well with some people.
- While the liberties taken to this classic story are welcome, it still doesn’t stray too far from expected plot developments that can make the movie feel derivative in some ways.
- Also expect some plot conveniences to happen to get the story moving in a predictable manner.
- Had potential to be better than what it is, but the movie is content to just be perfectly acceptable.
P.S….
- I know this movie wants to be a franchise, but let’s leave it alone as it is.
