Do NOT pay money to see this movie–seriously. And don’t let your kids go see it if they’re younger–there’s a lot of weirdly excessive vulgarity. I have fairly liberal sensibilities when it comes to movies (I saw the “The Hangover” a few weeks ago and thought it was funny) but I don’t think they should have tacked on so much language and content into a movie that is ostensibly partly for kids.
But even more noticeable than the vulgarity were the horrible script and acting and the very weird pacing. At one point it felt like the movie was reaching its climax and winding down but then it went on (and on and on) for another hour and half. Bleh.
But besides the actual movie the afternoon was great. Before the movie I had lunch with my friend Amber and it was a lot of fun to catch up with her. We get along really well but apparently we have very different tastes in movies sometimes. We sat together during the show and during a tacky love scene I leaned over and nudged her with my elbow, grinning and ready to share a eye-roll–only to discover that she was being moved to tears. Oops! Not my proudest moment.
thanks for the review…kev's been wanting us to go, though I have no interest. I'll have him read this.
Ahaha, I'm sorry but I have to disagree with your review! I LOVED IT!! Anything with moving bad a** robots is absolutely fabulous~! For me the audience (excluding you) was a far more boring than the movie…there were parts we could have been cheering or laughing about but people were being too busy being serious about the content and offended…but we're in Utah county so oh well…:P and yes, I cry in almost every movie so it's ok to laugh about that 😉
