First hour bluntly mechanical, like watching an Xbox make out with a credit card. Picks up but never pulls together.

Insane box-office reception gives this unearned referential value. Thankfully its grosses will be pulverized in due course by Star Wars, Episode VII, or Minions XIII. Not worth preserving.
