Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Maybe it's hurt by watching it on a two-dimensional small screen, but I don't understand all the fuss about the visuals. Yeah, they did a lot of stuff that would have been unfilmable five or ten years ago, but it still just looks like cartoons to me.  This is nitpicking, though; it's a very good movie.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.0/4 (Good)
