It's too long, it's over serious, the plot is questionable (if currently somewhat relevant), but the action is well-done and I like Chris Pine and the rest of the cast. They basically rescue the film. I enjoyed it, but it could've been done better.
As is usual these days in a Hollywood that takes itself far too seriously, the scenes plod on far too long, there are duplicate scenes (motorcycle rides), and there's too much side plot. Even at 103 minutes, the movie drags in spots.
There's a perfect length for every movie and one deserved 85 minutes, 90 minutes tops. Less is more. Still, I think it's far more deserving than the sub-6 rating it's currently sporting.
