Gluttanous Eye Candy with No Sustenance...Entertaining to a Point

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2017)

Lacking the Wit of "Hardcore Henry" (2015) or the Grounding Sophistication of "The Matrix" (1999), this Over the Top of Over the Top Exercise in Expressionistic Extremism is Entertaining to a Point.
But the Breaking Point is Reached Quickly as the Brain Turns to Mush and the Stomach Wretches at the Obnoxious Portrayals of the Characters that go through all the Motion. Slow Motion, Ultra Slow Motion, Fast Motion, Sideways and Upside Down Motion, and Over Emoted Emotion.
James McAvoy Screams, Sweats, Shouts, Yells, and is in Hyper-Mode along with the Visuals from the Get-Go and there is No Contrast. He is as Manic as the Tone of this "Graphic Novel" (Mark Millar, James Jones) Come to Life.
There is a Good Cast On Board this Violent Splatter-Fest, but Bored You may be about Mid-Way, but None of the Name Actors can Compete with the Cinematography and CGI Trickery. They and the Audience are Overwhelmed at the Overt Brutality and High-Contrast, High-Def Images.
There is an Audience for this Type of Thing, but there are Degrees, and Each Film that Takes on this Template of Video-Game Visceral is Ultimately Judged by the Overall Feeling and Substance of what Lurks Beneath the Slight of Hand Distraction from the Story and Characters that will Remain After and are the After Effects of the Viewing.
This is one You will Feel while Watching but Not a Whole Lot of it will Resonate. Especially the Ludicrous and Incomprehensible Meaning of it All. Shallow but Sensational, the Movie is, when all's Said and Done, Witless but Willing to Offer a Bang for the Buck.
Most Folks will Probably Get Their Money's Worth of Eye Candy, but those Seeking something besides Sweet Sustenance need Look Elsewhere.
