People complain about the spoilers? Come on. If I told you that in superhero movie a radioactive spider bites protagonist and he gets superpowers, would that be a spoiler? The movie is a cliche, which not a bad thing all by itself. All movies aimed for mass viewer are cliche. It is just how people consume cultural information en masse -- through cliches, the same way they consume historical information through mythos. The problem is the cliche doesn't seem to work like it used to be, or works sporadically -- probably the reason why the movie is a bomb. I generally don't like movies with social message, but when they've got one and the movie happens to be boring it results in me thinking too much as you see it in the OP :D
Additionally I wanted to correct myself. The movie is not stupid, it's watchable. I'd probably save best words for some serious sh*t like "Cloud Atlas", that was some straightforward BS, as straightforward and stupid as North Korean propaganda or Fox News :D But people who got under the spell of "intellectual fashion", i.e. approved way of thinking, like it a lot.
