The usual style over substance blockbuster

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2014)

The latest blockbuster is out and it delivers in what most blockbusters strive for, style over substance.
Very high production values, good score, tight pacing that moves along are unfortunately marred by predictable plot, too many cheap one liners and generally poor dialog. Humour is mostly hit and miss, and is at times just plain dumb..to the point that it seemed intentional. Characters are as expected one dimensional, and hopefully the inevitable sequel will spend a bit more time on their backgrounds.
The real downer was the 3D effects or the lack of them, honestly it felt like 3D was just tagged on to the title and many times i pulled off my glasses just to check if there was any 3D effect present at all. Like a good deal of 3D movies out there, its just a nice excuse for studios to rip us out of a few more bucks.
If you didn't find the trailers for this movie funny, save yourself a few bucks and wait for a home release.
