Over The Top Boring

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2006)

I just got back from the movie and I was surprised at how weak the plot was. It seemed like less of a plot and more of a stream of consciousness dream sequences that were so loosely thrown together, I found myself not caring about the characters and bored by their excitement in a can approach to film-making. It seems the movie makers figured great special effects and lots of action sequences would cover up the lack of a good script and judging by the good reviews people seem to be giving it here, I guess it worked, you fooled em. It was cookie cutter entertainment "insert fighting sequence here...insert snotty one liner here...special effects here, blah blah blah". Entertaining for kids but I found it lacking in substance.
