I’ll agree with you on the first one. My friend wanted to see it and we saw it in 3D - which I usually avoid. I was blown away by the visuals and actually saw it a second time in theatre about a week later with someone else. I kind of didn’t even pay much attention to the plot and dialogue. I just wanted the visuals.

It wasn’t until I saw it a third time at home without the visuals that I realized just how stupid the movie was.

Are people still going to these drab formulaic movies?

I pirated this movie. I made it 10 minute in before I turned it off and deleted the file. One of the most banal pieces of shit I’ve ever turned off.
