good but could have been great

The Harry Potter series of books contain much more than exploits of a young wizard.
The movies, although very good, tend to focus more on the "wizardly" effects. I always feel the movies are good but miss much of what the books contain.
I also feel the extra cost of IMAX 3D is not worth it.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Nothing New

Memory loss accompanied by an epiphany that leads to a behavior change is not a new story (Total Recall and Bourne Identity are two examples).
Predictable car chases & special effects were OK.
Liam Neeson is a fine actor. He has had better roles in the past and will have better roles in the future.

Would get 5 stars if Dreamworks had cleaned up the noise and distracting dialogue. Dreamworks should have had more confidence in the story and the visual effects to sell the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

missed opportunity

Not enough character, plot and theme development. Fascinating era provides rich context for the story. Mann didn't use it. A little more time on background themes and less time with gun battles.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
