The Ward/Jakoby thing was a really sad excuse for the same old buddy cop dynamic we've seen a thousand times, but done better in almost every other case.
The "world building" was lazy and beyond boring; take a bunch of urban cliches and a bunch of fantasy cliches and slap them together.
The visuals were unappealing, the acting was flat, the dialogue was trite and terrible. The plot was beyond predictable and terrible (spoiler alert for the sequel, Tikka became the dark one at the end, which was obviously going to happen from the beginning.)
It's just all around a really, really bad movie.
- Goladus 9y agoThe Ward/Jakoby thing was a really sad excuse for the same old buddy cop dynamic we've seen a thousand times, but done better in almost every other case. This seems like a matter of taste then. I don't see any real criticism of it, just that you prefer how it's done in other movies. take a bunch of urban cliches and a bunch of fantasy cliches and slap them together. Why is this automatically a bad thing? The plot was beyond predictable Again, not automatically a problem. I can predict that every Mozart sonata will end on a cadence to tonic. The visuals were unappealing, the acting was flat, the dialogue was trite and terrible. The plot was beyond predictable and terrible (spoiler alert for the sequel, Tikka became the dark one at the end, which was obviously going to happen from the beginning.) This is not exactly convincing. I can call anything terrible, that doesn't make it so.
- ebbv 9y agoDude this discussion is an even worse waste of my time than that awful movie was. I gave you the obvious reasons why it gets roasted so badly by anyone who knows anything about movies, if you don't want to hear them or don't agree that's fine. You don't have to have to, but your claim that the panning is unjustified is just wrong. I am done with this conversation now.
