Critics Corner

Recommended Posts

"Everyone's a critic" The quote itself is more fact than fiction. Everyone has their own opinion on whats good and what isn't in the Hollywood industry, and so I wanted to make this topic so that everyone can post their own review on a movie they have seen whether it be from history or newly released.
You can either post a review, or you can post a counter-review if you have the opposite opinion of the critic.
[spoiler=Rules for Critics PLEASE READ!]
-Post an review that is at LEAST 5 complete sentences long.
-No saying "The movie sucked because 'So and So' was in it." Rather, talk about why you disapproved of their acting in the movie or why you disapproved of their casting but do not be biased to them personally.
-Do not attack a couter-review just because they hold a different opinion than you, it is always good to give viewers differing opinions to keep things balanced in every movie.
-Information you must include about the movie should be year of release, director, producer, distributor, name, and genre.
-All YCM rules apply as well.
-Put your review in a spoiler.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Rules for Counter-Critics PLEASE READ!]
-Post a Counter-Review that is at least 5 complete sentences long.
-Do not attack the original critic like "Obviously 'So and So' has a bad taste in movies". Your opinion on movies is not universal. Rather, talk about why you felt the movie was good rather than bad or why it was bad rather than good.
-Information you must include about the movie should be year of release, director, producer, distributor, name, and genre.
-All YCM rules apply as well.
Put your counter-review in a spoiler.[/spoiler]

Review-
Honestly I found this movie to be atrocious. My main beef is mostly with Screen Gems who would not allow the director and starring actress in discussions on the editing process and even edited half an hour out of the film to keep it PG-13, removing the bulk of the plotline. The acting on many antagonists and supporting chracters was also dreary with many of them lacking good enough emotion to even seem real rather than looking like robots with no soul. The CGI was also horrid and very low budget to my disappointment especially in such a huge landscape design for the main setting. The plot felt off and the character of Six felt a little too young to have such a mature personality and it felt like it didn't quite fit. Emotional scenes felt uninspiring and the whole thing looked disastrous. Ultraviolet had about the luminessence of a flickering lightbulb.
