The lost city of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2018)

One of the most boring movies I have ever seen.
Charlie Hunnam is a terrible actor. At least this time, we don't have to suffer through him trying to fail at an american accent.
Robert Pattinson is obvilusly trying to shed his Twilight image. Unfortunetely for him he is not nearly as good an actor as Daniel Radcliffe. And he is giving nothing to work with in this crap. He only accomplishes being almost unrecognizable with a huge beard and glasses.
I dont know what kind of man the real Fawcett was, but he's not very likeable. He choses, time and time again, to leave his wife and kids, to look for a city in the Amazones, that will prove that a civilization was there, long before our own.

He already has a small boy, before he goes on his first expedition to map the Amazones in order to clear his fathers name. I know these were different times, but why he cares what some old snobbish a-holes thinks of his father and why that is more important to him than his own family, is beyond me. He then porks his wife and leaves. He comes back, porks his wife again and goes on one more expedition. After he comes back from his second expedition, he now has three kids. Then WW1 breaks out. He considers it his duty to serve and once again put his own honour and country before his family. His eldest son is understandably pissed at him for deserting his family again and again.
Fawcet survives the war but temporarily loses his eyesight. Finally he decides to stay home and take care of his family.
But all of a sudden his eldest, now adult son, for no reason at all wants to help him find Moby Dick, ehr I mean the lost city.
They leave, as heroes of all England. They meet some tribe and live with them in the rainforrest. They are carried down to a river in a scene that made no sense. They're not injured and seem fine. And later were told they dissappeared. Nobody ever took Fawcett seriously. And he died as a failure. Both as an explorer and as a husband.
The End
Why we should care about some military man and explorer, that wasted his life, looking for his white whale, who died 93 years ago, is a boring mystery.
This movie is boring, pointless and a complete waste of time. You would have more fun watching paint dry.
Avoid this at all cost.
