Viewing Notes

Thirtieth movie of my FF2013 and third on Day Seven, my last day. Also the biggest dud on my schedule and least favorite film. After a wonderful action packed opening sequence the movie drags to a stop with an overly long and dull middle section. Finishes with an nice action setpiece but by then I no longer care. Great young cast but such a boring screenplay. All the fun and adventure of the TV show is missing. Such a disappointment.
