Viewing Notes

Disappointing in that this is so aggressively one-dimensional and wastes a lot of potential, both in storytelling and acting. There’s nothing subtle going on in this and it’s pretty mean-spirited. I’d be ok with that if the plot and characters had more depth to them.

I don’t think seeing the trailer 50 million times did it any favors either, since almost everything was in the trailer.
