If spending millions of dollars on violent, fire-breathing scenes, countless head butts, witless sarcasm and blood and gore is the measure of greatness, then this is a great film. If smooth-flowing plot, excellent characterization, believable turn of events is what you value, skip this film. I long for the Sherlock Holmes of old: restrained, cultured, reasonable who wins by a battle of wits and not by a battle of countless groin kicks. This is clearly a film aimed at the hip, slick and cool generation who adore violence and demand only meagre sense in a silly plot trying to capitalize on the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol genre. A bloody waste of time and was thrilled when the movie was over.
