The child actor was tolerable and there were a couple solid gore effects, but it's just such a boiler-plate setup. The basic beats are hit and nothing is done to elevate it in this stuffed genre. There's potential for a sequel in respect to world-building, "antagonist," and better characters; for now, we're just stuck with a bland origin story. Okay...here's an contentious one: Gareth Edwards' Godzilla (2014). |
Godzilla 6/10. Great whenever we actually get to see Godzilla do something, fairly average action film otherwise.
Also, you mentioned Eragon earlier, so I'll do that one as well since no-one else did. 2/10. A bad adaptation of a below average fantasy novel that throws away most of the book's decent ideas for an even more generic plot and characters, now with added bad acting on the side.
I guess I'll ask someone's opinion on The Unforgiven (1992).
