Just average

I have to concur with many of the other reviewers, this movie, sorry to say, had me bored. The one interesting bit, was the cat, or the "flerken". You know when a movie is bad, when the animals are more interesting than most of the actors. If Brie Larson was any more wooden in her acting, she would be office furniture. You can always rely on Samuel L. Jackson to put in a good performance and he doesn't disappoint in this movie either. His wise cracks nearly always elicit a smile out of me. Sadly, he was the exception rather than the rule. When a movie has this kind of budget, you expect the CGI to be good, and it is, but what makes a movie memorable is a great script, and sadly, this movie was lacking that, and frankly, the whole "girl power" agenda being pushed lately in movies is counterproductive. Enough of the agenda pushing already. Whether it's the not so subtle Trump bashing in the abysmal "Homes & Watson" movie, or this "girl power" effort in this movie, it just becomes another reason to switch off. Forget the agendas, just give us a decent script already! When you look at movies from the past, during Hollywood's "Golden Era", and are charmed by the clever, witty dialogue, you have to wonder what the hell happened to talent? Aren't there any decent script writers left in Hollywood? Barely a pass from me, sorry.
