Thank you for the link. I must have missed this one in the rush to catch-up after my trip to the coast last week. I do remember seeing reference to it in a later post and thinking "Hmmmm. Must have missed that one, must check it out," but then of course it flew out of my mind, as things are all too wont to do these days.
You seem to have had a very similar reaction to mine. It seems that neither of us made the leap to the new medium very well. Part of the problem also, for me, I think, may have been that I'm not really a very big fan of action films in general. I often find filmed action sequences difficult to follow and therefore can get a bit bored during them. This is usually far more crippling to my engagement with films than it is to my engagement with even relatively action-packed TV episodes.
All the same, I think I might follow your lead in going to see the movie a second time, now that it is out in the theaters. It's quite likely that I'd enjoy it more on second viewing.
