As I said. Mousehunt aside I cannot think of any Gore Verbinski films I actually like. I certainly would not label him a visionary. I just liked the film a lot more than I was expecting. It's not a reboot, remake, reimaginging. It's not an adaptation and it doesn't feel like a film made by committee. For all its flaws it felt like a film where the people who made it where allowed something close to free reign. It's not a perfect film but an interesting one.
