Why isn't this better than the original?

Rating: 1/10 (23 September 2015)

No spoiler alert necessary here. The synopsis on this site tells you all you need to know about the general story. The action is non stop which means that about a third the way through it, I was bored because it was just over and over and over with the same old stuff. Impossible stunts - poor graphics ineffectual characters and the worst thing is that I really wanted to like it. It made a bunch of money though and whilst crap makes money, crap's all we'll get. Why is a reboot or a sequel, made decades after the original, with a massively higher budget and more tech, generally worse than the original? Maybe because in lieu of the issues above, they had to cast well, write well and develop characters we cared about. Give this a miss - most video games will satisfy your need for action and will have more character.
