How to become a bad director

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2011)

To say this was a disappointment is an understatement, the story was boring and so was the camera work. It seems to be an ongoing theme with US films in recent years, dumping loads of cash on effects and fancy camera work and somehow that will make up for god awful stories.
As others have stated it's basically a rip from The Gonnies which is a far better film. I can say that the acting of the young cast was very good and considering how bad the script it's the only plus part of the whole film.
I think we will see the same thing happen to J.J. Abrams as we have seen with M. Night Shyamalan, basically it seems they were lucky with the first few projects they directed and now they are just trying to be clever with pointless stories.
Hey you guys! Surely there must be better material out there, your audience isn't as dumb as you might think and we expect better!
