    It's tempting just to buy a farm and hope that something like this happens to me one day. If Kevin Costner was 36 in this movie, that gives me about ten years to set everything up. That's enough time to ensure I avoid the financial troubles they had to go through. I'm curious if I would have to build a football pitch since I'm in Europe. But then what's the Iowa of Europe?

    At times it feels like the perfect adaptation of the franchise, but at other times it just feels like it's missing something. Maybe it was the finale that let me down in the end. Comparing it to the "Dark Knight Trilogy", these movies usually inspired the viewer in the end and made you want to see more. This wasn't the case for me after watching this movie and maybe that just has to do with the nature of it being…
