This film was entertaing but not outstanding

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2018)

I have never read the book to this film. I had a friend who wanted to this film and he was going on about how it has references to video game franchises and films to. I didn't really have much interest in seeing it but I figured about giving it a go. I liked it... not loved it but I was entertained by it. The characters are interesting, the action scenes where fun to watch especially the films climax, the music is good and the story was simple yet fun. The problems I had with the film tho are some of the characters were a bit annoying, the pacing is all over the place, the writing is a hit and miss in places and the romance was kind forced. Plus fans of the book have been giving it a bad rep, I have never read the book but coming from someone who hasn't I still had a fun time with it but it's not something I'll hold deep to heart for years to come since it wasn't very memorable.
