Cack!!!

Rating: 2/10 (13 December 2010)

I remember the cartoons from the 80's and they were not particularly good compared to say Battle of the Planets. The cartoon was basically about shifting units of toys. The toys themselves looked pretty good. Like He-Man and others of that ilk it was all about being bright and flashy with nothing to engage young minds. I watched this film on Film4 at 9pm. Why they chose this time to show, what is basically a children's film is beyond me.
The humour was stale and dragged out and schoolboy level. I love action movies, but this was by the numbers Hollywood pap. Lots of bang for your buck, but no story to speak of. Dire. This movie sums up what is wrong with Hollywood action movies these days. Too much reliance on special effects and hardly any story. Now I know why people groan when they hear a movie is being directed by Michael Bay.
