Sweetest Thing was absolutely abysmal and that song in particular was cringeworthy in that it was obviously thought of by the writers as highly amusing but was in fact plain embarassing.
I saw Just Friends recently, that was pish. The King Kong remake was shite for the most part although some bits were good and it could have been fantastic.
What's happened to Vin Diesel these days, he started off well with Pitch Black, Fast And The Furious and XXX was dumb fun but seems to have disappeared?  |
Agree about King Kong - with that classic story, cast, director and technology, it should have been awsome, but it turned into a freak show - the fight with the insects was repulsive and the dinosaur stampede was ridiculous.
I appreciate that with all these movies, there is an element of suspension of disbelief required, but it seems to me that excess is the order of the day now and that the distributors are pressurising the production companies into putting as much "kapow" into blockbusters as possible at the expense of plot, dialogue & credibilty
Still, with a target audience nurtured on a diet of Soaps, Game Shows, DIY Programmes and Reality TV - I suppose they can do anything they want. The public in general are too stoopid to notice the difference.
For shame.
