Fans of the first film should enjoy returning to these characters and the film’s vulgar humor, although the convoluted plot makes things less enjoyable. The movie makes no attempt to explain what happened in the first “Horrible Bosses,” so those who didn’t see it will be at a disadvantage. The returning cast members once again… Read More »
Overall, kept my interest, but things dragged more often than not. It’s painfully obvious that the final book in the Hunger Games series doesn’t have enough going on the stretch the story into four hours’ worth of film. Fans of the book may love seeing many of the smaller moments brought to life, but it… Read More »
Overall, a bit bland, with only a few laugh out loud moments. This is yet another comedy ruined due to the best bits being shown in the commercials and trailers. As soon as they set up the joke, you already know what the punchline will be. On the other hand, if the film was funny… Read More »
Entertaining film, but lacks any real depth. While the characterization between Hiro and Baymax is solid, all the remaining characters exist solely to round out the superhero team. They have no backgrounds, real names or anything beyond generic sidekick archetypes. It’s also painfully obvious when they’re introduced that we’re getting some blatant foreshadowing of what… Read More »
Very deep, breathtaking, emotional, and occasionally, boring film. This movie doesn’t hold your hand very much. You have to pick up pretty quickly on the ways of a famine-stricken, dustbowl Earth, and then take a crash course in astrophysics, the theory of relativity, wormholes and supermassive black holes. The heart of this film is the… Read More »
Very entertaining, but lacking anything that makes it really special. This is another example of a film that completely relies on its lead actor to carry it. The star of this film has to immediately come off as down-to-earth, likable and have you sense that there’s something more to them, while being able to believably… Read More »
A bit slow at times and overall keeps your interest, before finishing with a bit of an anticlimactic ending. Liam Neeson completely holds the film together, once again portraying the intelligent hero with a past that he would like to forget. This time around, there’s much less action than his other films. This, plus the… Read More »
Overall, more boring than exciting. The nine-year gap between this film and the original “Sin City” is just too much to overcome. Due to death, pregnancy and other factors, four characters were recast. Because of the length of time between the two movies, this doesn’t have too much of an impact. The minimalistic style, violence,… Read More »
This film delivers what is expected of it: 80’s action-film inspired mayhem and one-liners…plus, a little bit of modern with new cast members. If you’ve seen the previous “Expendables” films, you know what to expect here. The film’s returning stars add Wesley Snipes to the roster early on for some fun action and dialog. Mel… Read More »
This film had potential to be much funnier, but just couldn’t put together the right formula. While Jake Johnson was fairly consistently entertaining, Damon Wayans, Jr. was the weak link in this buddy comedy. While showing hints of the same comedy chops that made his father famous, he is asked to play somewhat of a… Read More »
