Just watched this

I'm not going to be someone to call it over hyped because I think it was incredibly well made and the story was very compelling.

I do, however, have a personal issue with one aspect of it that is no fault of the film. I simply hated the main character Rocket. He had no *beep* spine whatsoever and I don't think I could ever watch this again because of it.

I can't love a movie where I despise the main character and unfortunately this is one of them.

I kind of see your point. I just watched it last night (7.5 years after you did) and Rocket is really almost inconsequential to the story. He almost does nothing, the story doesn't really revolve around him.

For being the main character, the story is about everyone else.

That all being said, it was still a good movie.

I hate IMDB's Signature policy...
