I weep for the devolution of artistry . . .

Rating: 2/10 (14 October 2014)

Let's be honest: Scarlett Johansson adds no legitimacy to the concept of a hero, nor the intellectual prowess so desperately alluded to throughout the film. In the spirit of simplicity, it was a poorly conceived script married to less-than-moving conveyance.
To analogize, Lucy maintains that consistent, yet vapid projection by which the silver screen carries forth its collection of fallacious bumper-stickers. You know, the kind likely to adorn a Prius. So if you are seeking sheer in-your-face entertainment, your time may be better spent giving yourself a nose bleed.
Though knowledge is perceived through clever diction, it is countered by the notion that ignorance is nothing more than knowledge aligned with an ideal. That said, leave the philosophy at home, Mr. Besson, and instead try to deliver upon the promises so badly abused by the art of movie trailer editing. In today's world, that would be unique. Your move, Luc.
With such disappointment, why a score of 2? Well, a dinosaur shared my opinion and such mutual recognition deserves at least a point. Just go with it.
