Bloated nonsense, overlong and meaningless.

If this movie wasn't so overhyped and so overrated, I would just dismiss it as a meh kind of movie. But as it is so overhyped and overrated, I kind of start to hate it.

But to not waste a lot more time on this nonsense, I will just point out the main reasons why the movie failed for me.

1.) The movie failed to establish an emotional connection between the viewer and what is happening on the screen i. E. in the movie. One of the reasons for that being: the movie was driven by nonsense. Whenever the main characters are stuck in a situation, the have to perform some nonensical bullcrap, so that they can crazy-deus-ex-machina their way out of the situation. Again and again and again and again and again.

2.) The other reason for the failed emotional connection is that there were no sympathetic characters given to connect with. Everyone is just a self-absorbed a-hole or douchebag. What they are fighting for is a chaotic piled up mess (because they are unable to fix anything and to improve, so they prefer having a meanignless mess to having nothing).

So, my main problem was: I just didn't care for anything happening in the movie.

If you think that it is a profound philosophical question to ask how your life would be if you would have sausages for fingers (just to give you an example), this may be a movie you. But if you think that such a question is just stupid and stopped being funny since you turned 8 years old, maybe you should avoid spending timeor money on this movie.

But there are some few reddeming qualities of this movie, hence I gave it 4/10.

Which are:

  • The cinematography isn't bad.

  • It doesn't look like a trash movie production-value-wise.

  • Some of the acting wasn't too bad, if you can look past the garbage mess the actors had to work with.

  • It has some funny moments, if you can take the nonsense and the stupidity.

But again, at the end of the day, I didn't care for the pile of nonsense that the movie is.
