Not so Mighty

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2014)

The review: I waited a few days to review this hopefully after it set for a bit, it would be better than I remembered. It seemed like it had so much potential. Darker, decent set up, but once the movie hit its so called stride and was supposed to be engaging, climactic, etc.it was not. Monsters were LAME, character performances were most likely given as written. Taylor-Johnson does what he is asked to here which is go from one unlikely scenario to the other, in an obscenely fast way and then goes from one impossible situation to another. People get lost with the odds of never being found again high, and then get found rather easily. My love for this movie however, I'm afraid will never be found. Effects were decent even though I didn't love the CGI monsters.
The Good: Maybe the first half hour or so before the movies get there, when you think the characters and plot are being set up well and you don't know how bad it's going to get.
The Bad: I hated the monsters, the animations, the weak plot, and the many unlikely events. Especially when the film started so gritty and real, it took many turns for the worst.
