Unfortunately, I was expecting to love it. The characters are great, the idea behind it incredible, the logistics mind-boggling, the nods to the setting fun, and it was a great romp.
I guess part of the problem was that the trailers were just that much better. The music they use for them was so touching and great, and I felt it represented the scenes better than what was used.
Also, I felt the pacing was a bit rushed. I know they had to get a lot done, but I felt at points, especially near the beginning, they were going a bit too fast for my tastes.
I liked this movie.

Overall, a great movie, recommend it. 4/5.
