Prepare to yawn -- Painfully anemic and watery

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2015)

Surprisingly watery and actionless, this film was a complete bore. The pacing was painfully anemic. The script is so mired and bogged down with cheesy, weepy, whiny dialogue, that only the brilliant Phillip Seymour Hoffman can transcend the mediocre script and deliver an interesting performance. Hollywood's darling in Jennifer Lawrence brings another predictable ho hum performance - - a much overrated actor, in my 'unpopular' opinion. I had absolutely no problem with the splitting of the Hobbit film into three parts as many filmgoers decried and whined. There was a boat load of action and thrills in each of those three films. Here, there is none; therefore, the producers are knowingly and wilfully prolonging the agony filmgoers will surely endure. Prepare to yawn... a lot. This two hours of drivel and melodrama will annoy and depress you.
