Unfortunately, I'm going to have to quickfail this article. The plot section has a completely valid cleanup tag, in that it's sitting at over 1300 words. The preferred range, per WP:FILMPLOT, is 400-700. There are extensive bare URLs in the references; very few are actually filled out. No box office section, which is necessary for theatrically released films. The infobox should not contain DVD sales, just theatrical gross. Lots of improper grammar and phrasing throughout, with some puffery thrown in the mix.

The content is more in-depth than I would've expected, and in terms of coverage, you're golden. However, this is unfortunately far away from meeting the necessary "well-written" criteria, and is in need of a lot of copy-editing and cleanup before it's ready for GA. I'd highly suggest going through, cutting the plot section in half, then taking this to the Guild of Copy Editors to clean it up. Also, try to trim some of the extraneous trivia (the "Development" section in particular is full of info that could be said in a few sentences).

Sorry, Metalfire. Best of luck for your next nomination! I'd be happy to review it again if/when you do the necessary editing. Sock (tock talk) 19:29, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
