I'm not a SIFI fan, but I love a good adventure movie. I haven't seen the movie, but have read a lot of professional reviews prior to release, mostly negative.

That said, comments and reviews on blogs by "civilians" that actually paid to see it loved it. I think Disney has only themselves to blame for this disaster. They didn't promote it at all.
