13 minutes in.
Seems okay so far.
Very funny intro.

I put it off after an hour and went back to bed.
An odd mix of really good action scenes (1/4) and totally boring exposition (3/4).

Okay, here's how it is:
First 15 minutes - excellent. Here's the adventure. Really sets it up well.
Next hour - totally, totally boring.
Next hour - actually okay, starting to pick up.
Next 15 minutes (we are now 2 hours in) - really fucking excellent. This is what adventure films are all about. Trains steaming along at top speed, horses galloping everywhere, bridges being blown up, damsels in distress, bad guys a-leaping, the Lone Ranger music blaring away, shoving the train tracks from left to right, trains plummeting into the river, every kind of Saturday morning calamity you can think of. Just pure escapist nonsense. Wonderful.
Last 15 minutes - blah.
