What's Otter's
rating system?
From the novel of the same name by Christopher Priest.

This is the short review, the long review has spoilers. If you don't care about finding out the big woo-woo surprise ending (and you shouldn't, it really annoyed both me and Mr. Otter) then go there and read the whole thing.

But truly, there are not only senseless things in this plot that made both Mr. Otter and me scratch our heads and say, "Huh?" but the ending did annoy us. Hugh Jackman was just a whineyboy, and the only really good thing about this movie was Michael Caine (serious honey, even in his 70s) who managed to maintain his position outside all the rest of these annoying people.

Oh, David Bowie was good too, but it sure didn't look like him.

Anyway. If you MUST see this, rent it. Don't say I didn't warn you. About the stupid ending. And how annoying it was. Did I mention that the ending annoyed me?

Because it did.

Annoy me.

Mr. Otter too, it wasn't just me.

Who got all annoyed.

At the ending.

Because it was.

Annoying.
