Star quality

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2019)

To be honest, I was somewhat impressed with the viz and vim of this movie. I was impressed by the glee apparent in the portrayals of almost the entire cast. I was impressed by the interestingly odd reimagining of visual and audio cues of the source material. This film had a lot of style and panache which are surely values not to be underestimated in a piece of pop culture entertainment!
In other aspects, well......... the film is insanely stupid, unbelievable, inane, insane, idiotic and doesn't merit any further description because nothing complementary can be forthcoming!!
But it does have a dazzling smile and a cracking sense of devilment.
I'm gonna rate it a surprising 6/10; all for style and absolutely none for substance. But if a film is aiming primarily at building a new reference of updated material distinct from, but developed from, something widely known then maybe a smash 'n grab of all smiles and styles isn't so strange.
