While not fantastic, It was better than at least the first Hunger Games film, I thought - No idea why Hunger Games movie did so well in comparison

(Yes, I have 3 daughters - No, I could not be bothered to leave the room when they were watching!)
I find them all a bit daft and to be quite honest, dull. I've successfully fallen asleep watching the Hunger Games 1 & 2, plus Divergent. Some of the best sleep I've had to be honest.

Another film I'd recommend falling asleep to is Percy Jackson and his gobste friends (I've forgotten the actual title).

No, that is the title.

I didn't think the Hunger Games was great either.

I went into this blind to the fact it was similar in tone and background to HG, i.e. based on a young adult book, female protagonist, perfect society etc etc.

Just one of the Hunger Games copycat films. They are all (including HG) painful to watch as they are aimed at early teens, and feature a female protagonist who is 'special' in some way and fights back against 'The Man'.

You can see why teens like them, as their whole life is one adult-inflicted injustice after another. rolleyes

Jupiter Ascending

Considering the money that was obviously poured into this film, why couldn't someone actually bother to provide a script with bit more depth than this? The CGI was, admittedly, very good but the script was thin and some of the actors were unconvincing.

I think that this sums up perfectly what's wrong with many films made for cinema today. frown

over-loud, over-long, poorly scripted

Some gorgeous visuals and SFX (loved the dragony things) but overall a total mess 3/10

The Green Lantern.

Terrible. When it starts with robot planes that crap out at 50,000ft you can tell nobody has done any research into the 'real' things in the film. Let's not even talk about the helicopter crash. Then the characters are one dimensional, the plot is sillier than it needs to be the FX and pretty bad and the acting is wooden.

4/10

Avengers age of ultron

2/10

Cliched, hackneyed and contrived.

Not often I get dissapointed at a movie, but left me actually annoyed at how bad it was.

Seventh Son - poor, poor effort. Again some impressive visuals but really WTF?? BTW what on earth has convinced Jeff Bridges that he needs to gargle all his lines?

Sex Tape, just don't bother. It is possibly the only film which could be made better if Adam Sandler or James Franco was in it.

Just think about that and choose another film to watch!

I think the trouble is saturation.

To me, Marvel is now to cinema what sugar is to the food industry. Just too much of it everywhere.
