So I just saw this last night.... I thought it was terrible. I was almost falling asleep through a lot of it. I'm trying to put my finger on what went wrong and this is all I can come up with.
1-- I never gave a single crap about any of the characters, or the war that was going to happen. I'm not sure if they just didn't spend enough time going into each individual character, or what. Maybe they assumed they would be familiar characters to us, so they didn't have to, but character development sucked, and I even found myself bored with Sean Connery. It seemed like they threw him in there just to deliver typical one-liners in his accent, like in the Rock.
2--The action scenes were terrible! All of the action flew by in a blur, where you couldn't even see what the characters were hitting each other with. There were parts I couldn't figure out what was going on, or even sometimes why a fight was even happening at all. The explosions weren't cool, either. In fact, everything cool I saw in the movie was also in the previews.
So.... I give this movie.... half a star? out of five. I'm REALLY disappointed after the hype this movie got.
