A lazy pedestrian commercial success

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2014)

Well the first three films were pretty good and in-fact you can look at a whole range of films like The Godfather, Star Wars that started out well and understand why they stopped or in the case of Star Wars just got worse and worse.
This film has all the characteristics of something that has passed its "best before" day. It has so much filler, a few set-up CGI action sequences that keep it on track (and by that I mean not dozing off to sleep)and acting that plainly is not demanding at all.
If you have never seen the first three films you would be wondering what all the fuss was about. Quite clearly this has now become a money making franchise which is trying to get every last bit of dollar out of as little material as possible.
At least Harry Potter knew when to stop, but I do hope we are not going to have more of the same otherwise everyone who was involved on this will look back and see they stopped caring about craft and endeavour.
