no heart

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2009)

This movie has absolutely no heart. It's humor is cruel and insulting.
For example, the writers seem to think it's amusing to have the characters repeatedly smack their heads into objects. This isn't even cheap vaudeville, it's just to take the characters down a notch. Think you're so good? Well, here you go, you smacked your head on a doorway, guess you're not so smart after all, nyuck nyuck nyuck.
The jokes regarding how men are either terrified ninnies were also cruel and stupid. What's the point in demonstrating that someone is a coward? Sure, once you can pull it off, but over and over and over? What's your point?
Or the plot line where the girl gets rid of her power. Ah, without massive power, she's totally useless. But once she gets her power back, viola she's a useful person again. The implication is power=good, no power = sucker. Yeah, thanks for telling me that assholes.
It has no compassion for the various characters. It also doesn't have any compassion for the viewer. The writers think we're interesting in watching how clever they can be.
But people come to movies to gain something, to feel something. And the only thing I felt watching this was "how much longer do I have to put up with this crap?"
