Unbelievable.
MLB and I went to watch two movies this week and they both sucked.
TMNT's plot was patchy and the turtles look like crap in CGI. Unrealistic. Disappointing. Total letdown.
Pathfinder was another unrealistic movie. The hero doesn't have a well-toned body as expected from heroes to make up for his lack of good looks normally associated with heroes and the Norseman vikings were made out to be inhuman with fangs and grunting sounds and everything when they are just in fact humans (I mean, Scandinavians these days, do you see them with fangs and do they even make grunting sounds?).
In general, it's yet another American sentionalisation of a mundane subject. They just couldn't let the legend of the Pathfinder who repelled the Norseman invasion 600 years before Columbus 'found' America to be boring and straightforward. They just had to add things to spice it up like 'gunfights' with arrows, car chases with the hero on a shield sliding down a snowhill with bad guys on his tail on sleds, blah blah blah.
I just hope Transformers and Spiderman 3 are more worth it.
