An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but Nick, my step-son, really wanted to watch it so we ended up watching it in the movie theater. Well, it was definitely not really good, I’m afraid. The point is that I did watch the cartoon as a kid back then, and of course, the whole thing was terribly cheesy but it could have worked but the makers seriously messed up the whole thing. Indeed, there were some rather spectacular action scenes, I’ll give you that but they all really look fake. Of course, the story is never really important with this kind of flicks but, come on, they could have done much better than this. Eventually, the best surprise was Sienna Miller who really looked awesome as the Baroness but that’s seriously the only thing that more or less impressed me. Somehow, they thought they could salvage this failure and they released a sequel and even though they did include Bruce Willis, one of the biggest action stars that ever lived and Dwayne Johnson who has pretty much become the franchise savior (see also ‘Fast Five’ and ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’), this second installment was pretty much as much underwhelming as this one. To conclude, it was a rather disappointing feature and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
