Predictable and boring

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2012)

There is a possibility that with a different cast, script and director, this may have made a half decent film. As it is, it drifts through formulaic scenes and never gets near to making you care about the characters. It may have been slightly novel 30 years ago but is now so dated and predictable. It's a little like an episode of a poor TV series with identical story lines churned out every few days. No twelve year old should take their parents to see this and I suspect any self respecting 12 year old would have better things to do. (If only there was a rating code to indicate this, 12- perhaps). No one expecting anything slightly original should see this. Having said that, the first 5 minutes weren't too bad.
