Rushed and crammed into a 114 minute runtime while trying to be too faithful to the game, and taking on an entirely-too-large chunk of its story, it's an exhausting sit likely to frustrate all but the most devout franchise followers. Worse, the live action treatment makes the disturbing dog-fighting and animal abuse parallels all the more apparent."

Xillix Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Crash Bandicoot "A perfectly fine, totally unremarkable animated adventure that's a good enough time-killer for kids and parents alike. The budget means the CG animation isn't up to par with its contemporaries, but the cartoony video game style helps to soften the blow." Flower Eyes and Needle Teeth "It's essentially a flagrant ripoff of They Live, but its serious tone and abundant style make it an enjoyable, tense, disturbing watch in its own right." Chaperones "Crude, hedonistic, underwritten, and only occasionally funny. Philips reaches once again for his Hangover glory days and winds up with something more like a Hangover sequel, but this time with children." The Terrible Plight of Freddy Zapper "Sloppily-edited, but the sheer fun of it all can overcome most technical quibbles - it's an infectious, funny, endearingly offbeat blast from the past." @The Shape of Pasta I took a half-star off for the fact that it REALLY needed some proof-reading. There are places where it seems like entire sentences are missing. Blank "Vulgar, fun, and consistently engaging, Blank is the latest example of McDonagh's impeccable knack for crime comedies." Penny Press "It's a sweet story, but also a very slight, uneventful one, which has no business being a feature film at all - let alone two and a quarter hours. It doesn't dig into its characters or offer any interesting plot developments - it's just boring and seemingly endless." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Shit, I had a feeling AP could come off as exploitative - I tried to limit it where I could but I don’t blame critics who find it to be that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiccup23 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Oh god now we head into October/November. We are getting into a bunch of movies that are not fillers and ones I care about/ took risks on. Nervous about what you will think of My Life to Waste, The Island, Midnight in the Afghan Valley, and Little Demons. The latter three are unique films that I can see getting very polarizing reviews. My Life to Waste was my first OC contender back in the old CAYOMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for the good review of FZ! Sorry about the typo thing - I pasted it in from 2.0 without a second glance, so I probably should have given it a once over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a very good chance Endless Entertainment takes an ice bath on Bionicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again Bionicle was supposed to be my studio’s MCU and it’s pretty much DOA and was our first film. You can still rebound with 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
