A Fishy Script!

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2018)

It's interesting to note that during the first month's of a film's release, the studio floods imdb with fake reviews. Greatest movie ever! Ignore the haters! Ten out of Ten!
Here is a real review,.
This is a CGI overblown, loud, badly written, badly directed and with a few exceptions, badly acted movie.
The hero of the film was better off in Game of Thrones where he just needed to look mean most of the time, and flex his muscles.
William Defoe is badly miscast, the story is confusing, there are many, many locations, and there are three seperate bad guys. It is a terrible mish mash and a shining example of why, if you write the script, you shouldn't also direct it!
At the start of the movie I thought I was going to enjoy what looked like an over the top, humourous paradoy. Then I realised they weren't joking.
Because I was given no interest in what happened to the characters I found the countless fights and battles boring. I spent most of the movie closing my eyes and listening to the sound effects. At times I was lucky enough to fall asleep, which made this way too long film, feel slightly shorter.
At this movie I had my first Choc Ice in many years. An ice cream that can't be beat. It is made to a consistent formulae. Given the amount of money and the top actors dedicated to this movie, it left me wondering why they hadn't used a similar tried and tested formulae and kept it simple. Instead, we have one big watery mess.
