It seems to me that most people took this movie far too serious. Sure
there are some dramatic scenes only they are underplayed for Bollywood
standards. The thing is that the humour itself is silly but not
clever. Before you know it you forget what the joke was. And with
literally glass breaking in almost every scene you won't even get the
chance to focus on anything but the glass breaking. I mean fake or CGI
glass at a certain point I did ask myself if it was really necessary
for those effects. Speaking of the special and CGI effects. They were
good but a bit on the repetitive side. I also did not see something
original in that department. Take Enthiran starring Rajinikanth (who
has one of the most meaningless cameos ever) for example. At least in
that they used the special effects in a way that was relatively new and
exciting to see. The biggest flaw of Ra.One was that it never actually
convinces as a super hero movie. It had more in common with Terminator
2 which they were probably aiming for. Even if that was the case then
you would expect some fierce battle between the villain and the
hero. And that was underwhelming to say the least. Still with all it's
flaws I could not help but be entertained by this movie. Sure I
expected more. But I don't regret having watched this movie. This
really is a movie where your mind has to suspend disbelief and go with
the flow.
