"Good morning Charlie"
One of the most iconic catchphrase in cinema history.
Now, they attempt to reintroduce it to a new generation of cinema goers... and results?
It seems it bombs badly in the cinema but personally, I am having mixed review about it.
Storyline and premise was promising. But the movie was underwhelming in some parts for me.
Action sequence was arguably okay only. I felt could have done better. So does the acting.. it was passable. Not the worst but somehow something is missing. At least we get to see a different side of Kristen Stewart.
I somehow realized this year have been a bad year of "soft reboots" - Terminator, MIB, X-Men (if you consider it so) and now this... it is poor attempt if you ask me and I feel the studio have missed the core reason why these movies were good in the past and trying to repackage it with their own agenda while disregarding the real essence of it. To be honest too, the marketing for this was surprisingly poor.
Or we audience are simply tired of rebootssssss...
Back to the movie, apart from the promising storyline and some fun every now and then, there's nothing much to shout about. Oh, maybe cameos and nods the movie have perhaps could interest you la...
6.8/10 - just ok la.
