An average movie

Before it was released, there was somewhat some buzz about this flick but who could blame the mainstream audience? Indeed, Paul Bettany looked pretty awesome on the poster with his wings and his weapons. Eventually, it was a flop and after watching it, I can't say it didn't deserve this faith. Basically, the whole thing was a terrible mess pathetically trying to mix some religious stuff within an action movie. Seriously, the whole thing had some potential and it could have bee pretty bad-ass but, unfortunately, the end-result was just terribly underwhelming. Furthermore, I think I have never seen such a religion themed feature showing such a lack of spirituality. Compared to this, 'The Da Vinci Code' was a real epiphany. And what the hell happened to Paul Bettany?!? At the beginning of the 2000's, he emerged as one of the most talented actors of his generation but if you move forward 10 years later, he hasn't done anything remotely amazing, expect maybe snitching Jennifer Connelly. The best is that Paul Bettany would work again with director Scott Stewart 2 years later for 'Priest' which was equally disappointing. To conclude, even though I have seen worse movies, it is still pretty damned average and not really worth a look.
