Lack of originality (0 more)
The story didn't feel very original, I actually thought it was a modern day remake of the original Die Hard with Dwayne Johnson playing John Mclane with a prostetic leg, Every other character seems 1 dimensional and forgettable including the main antagonist, an ok watch if you have a few hours to spare and turn you're brain off at the door

About what you expect
I must admit I did enjoy this. Unfortunately for game adaptation it is what you expect, cheesy dialogue, masses of action and Dwayne Johnson doing what he does best. But making a film out of a basic button bashing game is a tall order and it was well done. Touching funny and kept the kids entertained. If you want a film with plenty of action watch this.

This, I believe, was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson breakout role, after his what-amounts-to extended cameo in 2001's 'The Mummy Returns', ostensibly playing the same character.

Although you would barely know it: his background here is markedly different than that earlier film.

The film itself is pretty much pure sword and sorcery hookum: think, say, something like Conan the Destroyer and you're probably on the right lines!

This generations Bruce Willis.
Crazy, far fetched, rediculous over the top - I loved it...

Don't evpect anything other than a thrill a minute action ride and you won't be disappointed... Yes it's so far fetched it's rediculous but is that a bad thing....

The "former" Rock cements himself as a genuine action hero in this film that 20 ish years ago you could easily have seen Bruce Willis in...

I probably laughed a bit more at the sight of Johnson hanging upside down from a prosthetic leg and the following sequences than I should have but it is all silly fun...
