The new 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty'

Walter Mitty was one of my favorite movies of 2013.
 
One should not have such an open mind that one's brain falls out.
I am perfectly happy to accept improbable possibilities to make a plot go forward - for example, actually finding someone in the vast ranges of the Himalayas. Not likely but possible. That makes the plot, any plot, go forward.
What does puncture the balloon of 'willing suspension of disbelief' is when, in sequences that are meant to be reality and not a dream, someone relies on an artifice that we all know is impossible to make the plot go forward, like for example, flying on a commercial aircraft from Iceland to the foot of the Himalayas in one day.
Once that happens, to me the rest of the artifices are revealed, like greasepaint, to be just that.

That being said, it is not up to me to do anything about my own taste, if you like the movie, like it and don't denigrate my opinion in order to justify yours.
 
Cons- ridiculous plot and in order to make it partially plausible, there were so many distortions of reality that it became annoying.

That movie should never have been made. It's just to unrealistic. None of that stuff could ever happen.

Whoops, gotta' run! Avatar, Thor and Star Wars are running back to back to back on A&E!
