It's basically Conan/Rambo set in the antebellum South (well I guess technically it's Siegfried). It's an amusing wishful fantasy, but nothing leapt out at me as being all that clever and the whole thing is ludicrously unbelievable. I did love the Schultz character though. Predictable but fun.

...imagine... if Predator wasn't an alien monster but Naked, brunette, Scarlett Johansson, and instead of a jungle in Central America, it happens in Scotland. And instead of an action movie, it's (or tries to be, I don't know) an European "art" film.

Didn't 12 Years a Slave come out the same year?

So...did you read the book? Just curious since it could be that the movie treatment itself was bad but the book was OK.

Yes, I found this very entertaining. I was curious whether I would because there were comparisons between it and The Avengers, and I fell asleep during The Avengers.

I thought it was more interesting, since they weren't a bunch of established characters that had their own movie series already.

I can understand the appeal of Audrey Hepburn, but only to a point. i've seen her in other things and meh. She is definitely good in this, and the story is pretty decent, I love the footage of early '60s NYC.
But Mickey Rooney's minstel show character of the Japanese neighbor was astoundingly awful. I knew it was in the move, but thought it was a smaller part--but he keeps showing up again and again. Mickey Rooney is always annoying, but he takes it to a whole other level in this movie. I like how voices of both Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are in this.

Also they needed a better script and Mrs McFly didn't have the chops to carry a movie.
Jeffery Jones, however, absolutely kicked ass as the Dark Overlord. "I have no neeed for human subsistence..."

Howard was a bit of an in gag in the post credits scene. I am not sure you want to attribute it to anything other than a bit of cheeky cleverness (I believe the director said he's not alluding to any future Howard project)
