Farce

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2010)

Mind you, Roland Emmerich is a great filmmaker and he can create a truly brilliant work - like my favorite The Day After Tomorrow, or Independence Day. These are really cool and compelling works. 2012 is not. Oh my, almost 3 hours of complacency, vapid jokes, caricatures and shallow images. The main hero? Sure, divorced. President of USA? Sure. African-American. Russian? Sure, fat bandit. Chinese? All cruel morons. Catholics? All die very soon. Tibet lamas? All light and grace. I am tired of those cartoon'd images. A real farce, especially think of the silly-looking Queen of England. Nothing here holds it together. John Cusack? Amanda Peet? Naaah, boring! The only light spot is Woody Harrelsson and his short role, pity, too cameo...
