Not what I expected.

Rating: 3/10 (14 November 2010)

I finally got around to seeing this last night after months and months of anticipation, hearing high praises of it from everywhere. Boy, was I disappointed. I am a big video game fan, grew up in the 80s, so I know all that beat-em-up stuff going on. But the movie just made no sense.
Of course, one might say that this kind of movie should not need to make sense. But I disagree. I admit, I never read the comic, so I did not know the story. But from seeing the trailers, I was expecting it have the basic premise that the evil exes were all DEAD. Right. That's why they are evil, because they come back from the dead to hunt down anyone trying to date Ramona. Now to me, THAT would make sense. Yes, it would be total fantasy and supernatural, but it would make sense.
Scott would be out somewhere with Ramona, and suddenly BOOM, one of the evil ex ghosts show up out of nowhere, ready to fight him. Much like the first evil ex in the film, who just appeared out of thin air.
But the whole fact that they were just "regular guys", meaning living people, made it all the more senseless. Like that Vegan guy, he made zero sense at all.
If you want to make fantasy, at least put the supernatural element there to make it "realistic" so to say. I would have accepted an evil ghost with superpowers showing up, but a guy who has powers because he's vegan? Come on man.
Disappointed :(
