Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Before I eviscerate this giant bag of dumb, it's worth pointing out that Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson, and Scott Speedman, give really good performances. Mireille Enos plays the same catatonic depressive that she plays in everything else. Actually, not worth the time to take this mess apart. They already got 1:50 of my time. That's more than they deserved. Cliff notes screed: stupid storyline, pointless chronologic leap frogging in time, TERRIBLE screenplay. Don't. Just don't.
The director is just showing off his gimmicky chops. Often the story fades into the background as he shoves his un ordered disordered down our throats. It's almost insulting and doesn't add anything to the story. You will spend the entire movie stopping it and explaining in to your wife or girlfriend scene by scene.
I noticed another goof when it comes to the exhaust placement. In one shot, the tailpipe is shown in front of the right rear wheel and in another scene, it is behind the tire.
I don't undertand the bad ranting, the movie is well made, good actors and good story. I really got into the characters, even the pedos xD I liked it a lot, i'm guessing why people didn't like it is because of the scene changes, has past and present scenes mixed so SLOW people gets lost, i didn't and i loved that touch, gets the movie more intriguing.
