Frankly, I'm shocked seeing other reviews and how many people seem to like this movie. It's one of the most incoherent films I've ever seen and I just recently saw 'Misconduct', so that should tell you something. My biggest issue, besides none of it making sense, is that I don't care. I don't care about the plot, I don't care about the implausibility of all of the tricks, I don't care about the terrible special effects and I certainly don't care about any of the main characters. I feel like the biggest issue is that 3 out of the 4 main (hero) characters are just downright unlikeable. I don't know if different casting would have helped because the characters were never developed enough to illicit any amount of relatability to care about. Woody Harrelson's character is the exception. The French woman is also an exception. Mark Ruffalo's character is unfortunately the same as the main "heroes", just unlikeable. I do feel he was miscast in this one, although I don't think he's a bad actor. Overall 0 stars. I really don't understand how anyone outside of a young kid that's kind of into magic could ever like this film.

About as exciting as a movie about shoes (yes, really) can get. Although the performances were good, I don't really understand how a concept like this got funded.

Didn't get it. Not one bit. I see a lot of amazing reviews so maybe I'm in the minority, but yeah...just not enjoyable at all.

I'll make this short, I am a big Sam Raimi and Danny Elfman fan, and a Marvel fan too, but this is by far the worst outing for all 3 that I have encountered. Some of the casting choices are questionable, the classic Raimi-isms are there, but do not work in this type of movie. The visuals effects look very unrealistic and disconnected and the overall look is not appealing either. Raimi and this movie were not a good match. Bad. I'm stunned that others seem to like this one.
