Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Rumble Strike

The Mill itself is quite small, but does have some real playablity with the wheel. I certainly had a lot of fun posing the figures and recreating the fight scene from the film whilst taking the pictures for the review. I think this is a license that fits extremely well into LEGO form and it should be a big success.

Recommendation: meh 31 / 40 by JimBee

Not as good as London Escape, but still one of the stronger sets in the line because of the playability factor. Seriously, you could add on as much as you wanted to this set to reenact the scene from the film to the fullest extent. Add minifgures, buff out the tower, build a beach and forest, even add some pirate ships. The possibilities are endless, which makes this set superior to, say, a spaceship or the like where your choices are limited. I would suggest this set if you can afford London Escape and Isle de Muerta first.

From Bricks To Bothans

Recommendation: no 4.3 / 10 by Nick Martin

Overall, the set itself diverges too much from a scene that was already terrible. The minifigis seem a bit shorted in comparison to other sets, only 4 in a $40 set. The price-per-brick isn't too bad in the set, especially considered to other lines, but there's just not enough to it. It's an ugly set with all those flat panel walls and stickers.
