Three awesome looking but slightly average films

There are a lot of ingredients that have to come together for a film to be truly great.  Sometimes a film will come along that blows you away with spectacular visual effects or striking costumes and imagery only to be let down by shoddy characterisation, poor pacing or a clunky script.  For every great ‘effects’ movie that comes along, such ...
