So many times in the movie you're shown a boy looking at sincere creatures searching unendingly for hope- and what does the director give you? He shows scene after scene of the young self pronounced "King" (from a dysfuntional family of course) just staring up with a dumb founded look. His best answer to almost everything life brings to people trying to get through real life issues is to dress up in something we are not- and start screaming. Well, guess what- as in real life- he (like many of us do) leaves these moments just as he found them, and runs back to his Mom's arms, as many grown-ups wish they could do in these trying times. The visuals are outstanding- there was no acting- IMax made the pic worth my time.
