Sometimes I think that movie critics have too much time on their hands or just think they could have done better. It's not the first movie, it's the second. It's a different story.
I went with two of the kids (22 and 15), saw it in IMAX and all three of us had a great time. It was fun, loud, fast and enjoyable. The special effects were great. Mickey Rourke was perfectly cast. The action scenes were entertaining. It was a fast two hours.
One suggestion: stick around for the end the credits.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I had read other reviews, which prompted me to see this film and I wasn't disappointed. Christian McKay does a great job of channeling Orson Welles and nails him. It's worth seeing the movie just for his performance alone.
Although a little stiff, Efron does a good job portraying the young kid who happens into a part in Welle's production of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."
Dane's performance is what you'd expect from her and she's cast well a woman who's playing the theater system game to get a ahead.
Maybe I'm showing my age, but it's a good great film for couples and people who remember or appreciate Orson Welles.
