A writer friend of mine, Lucius, reviewed the movie in F&SF, and he had pretty much the same reaction. Not good, but not really bad either. He also noted that the director's cut of the film was much longer, but the studio made him trim it way way down for release. The question Lucius then had was, is it mediocre because of all the chopping the director was forced to do, or can't the studio be blamed for that? He concluded that we wouldn't know the answer until the movie came out on DVD and offered the option of seeing the original cut.

So, Greg. Do you know which version you watched? Just curious.
