I know it has Cuaron at the helm, but I think this really looks awful.

Saw it a while back, thought it was pretty good. Not as good as I expected, though. Clive Owen gives a really good performance.
So, you expected it to be awful, you actually thought it was pretty good, but this wasn't as good as you expected it to be?!?!?!?!
What?

Well, the trailer looks pretty awful. But after a while, all the hype caught up with me. Critics calling it a masterpiece. So I went in with pretty high expectations.
