I find it comical (no pun intended) when people complain that fictional characters are not portrayed "realisticly". But enough joking
I had high hopes for this movie, but while I did like it, it fell far short of my hopes. Rather than rehash the story, I will just hit the highlights.
The Action was great, but the problem is it rarely stays on a shot long enough for you to see anything - especially with Nemo. What glimpses you see are terrific, but it's not enough to really enjoy or appreciate it.
Also, I felt like they put all their character development into one basket. It felt like a giant pause in the movie when you begin to learn about the characters. I wish there was some action inserts to keep things feel like they were moving.
While many feel the need to criticize certain unbelievable elements in the movie, I must comment "It's a fantasy! That's the point!". Who cares whether Nemo's sub should fit in the canal's of Venice. This isn't necessarily our world, remember?
In spite of my criticism, I did enjoy the movie a lot. There was a lot of good action and plot twists in the story. Perhaps character modifications were made to enhance the story (i.e. Dorian Gray, Mina Harker), but just accept them as "alternate versions" that the original novels are based on, and you will enjoy it more.
