Another one bites the dust

Rating: 5/10 (28 January 2015)

I was thoroughly looking forward to seeing this one by the good reviews I had heard, but in the end, it ended up being like all of the other action films out there. Boring and lacking. I couldn't believe this film had a 170 million dollar budget. I would have thought about a 10 million dollar budget by the looks of the movie. Vin Diesel probably only had to spend about 2 hours in the studio for his part. Easiest 100 grand he probably ever made.
The writing was bad, the direction was bad, in part, a lot of the acting was bad because of the bad writing and direction. I like Chris Pratt, I think he's a great actor, but he wasn't so great in this one. I was very impressed by the voice over done by Bradley Cooper, it sounded nothing like him, and it was an impressive voice he did for that character.
Honestly, the character that stole the show, and the reason I'm even giving this ridiculous film a 5 is because of Dave Bautista's performance. He was hilarious as his character, and he's the only reason one should see this film. He creates a character that steals every scene he is in, and he's the only one that actually creates a likable character. Yet, he's the only one who had some good lines too.
