Box office Bomb. 43% on the tomato meter.

But you may like it. I report...you decide.

this actually looks pretty good. I will definitely be attending a 3-D showing.

It was ok. Far from great, but it was entertaining.

My biggest gripe; I don't know why Hollywood insists on having actors use a New England accent, when most of them, for some reason can't seem to carry it through a single series of dialogue let alone an entire movie. If you're not a genuine chowd, just leave it alone.

Part of the problem is that Chris Hemsworth needs an equalizing force to balance out a movie. Tom Hiddleston is really great as Loki, and is by far, the better actor and more dynamic, which lets Hemsworth play the simpler straight man role. In Rush, which was a fantastic movie and I'm disappointed it didn't win Best Picture, the guy who played Nicky Lauder was also fantastic, letting Hemsworth shift into a simpler role, not having to carry the movie himself. Heart of the Sea, the flash forwards to the present time was a poor narrative choice. Worked in something like Interview Of The Vampire because there was a sense of real dread and time lapse involved. Then asking Hemsworth to get balanced out by a CGI whale was asking just too much.

Spoiler alert. I mean I was hoping they found and trained a really big ### whale.

Not a racing fan, but I loved this movie which is really impressive.

I am mostly interested in if this is a retelling of the tale of the Essex, or some variation on it?
