A main lead in it for the pay check, a grating/directionless other main character and a mess of a story. Even the baddie doesn't feel complete or interesting. This cobbled Frankenstein's monster shows the studio didn't know what to do with it. The editing doesn't fully line up at times. No one has a satisfying arc, things just go about and no one is particularly likeable... until it ends and things are magically resolved. Towards the end, it feels like the team were lost on how to salvage what feels like 8 drafts mashed together. Plus, it could have been about 30 minutes shorter, and that would have improved things a little... maybe. Even action scenes felt slow and clunky too somehow, and could have been shorter. No amount of sloppy CGI can cover up the awkward attempts at drawing out action. Granted, anything overseen by Disney for the past decade or so is just 3D generated vomit that doesn't feel like much of anything. There is no soul in Lucasfilm, just boring mediocrity. And by all means, there are better ways to spend an evening for 10 - 14 bucks. It's a shame too, as an Indy film looking at Project Paperclip and the like could have been quite fun... maybe 20 years ago. Likewise, there were ideas that could have been expanded into something compelling, but the film is too content with throwing things at the wall instead in a desperate exercise to be pleasing.
