This particular genre has become incapable of throwing up any surprises, it is perennially old wine in old bottle. Occasionally, the label varies.

While the film keeps you reasonably interested in the first half, it still moves like a driver on a highway who refuses to move into top gear. The plot which tries to be too smart for its own good falls apart considerably, later.

The problem with making sequels is that it should also appeal to people who haven’t sent the previous films and unfortunately Riddick doesn’t score too many points there. This one is meant for die hard sci-fi fans.

I can understand Fermat’s last theorem but why on earth was this film remade, remains a mystery. But then when remakes of films like Agneepath can cross Rs.100 crores, I guess the temptation for producers is too hard to resist, creativity be damned.

We’re the Millers is a crude, lewd comedy aimed at the lowest common denominator. How loud, and if at all you will laugh, depends on what you find funny. If a spider sneaking into a man’s pants and biting his crotch is your idea of humor, then go ahead make your day.

Like yours truly, if you are not familiar with the franchise, there is way too much goobledygook in the film. There isn’t a great deal of excitement in the story nor do the action scenes grab your attention. Since the film was converted and not shot in 3D, you wish they would have stuck to the conventional 2D instead of messing it up.

Getting out of the hole that you dig can become very difficult when you mix real life events and fiction and the film flounders in the climax. While there are a few poignant points and moments on the face of it but if you dig deeper there are plenty of flaws in the screenplay.

The plot is so tedious and boring that it doesn’t hold your interest for more than the first ten minutes. And with every passing minute, you couldn’t care less about any of the characters.

There are a few gags a bit of action, but nothing will broadly appeal to you unless you are of a certain age group. Along with the action, it is the performance of Chloe Grace Moretz that leaves an impression but otherwise Kick Ass 2 doesn’t have much to gloat about.

The previous film had a decent story and captured the essence of that period but this one just gives a sense of déjà vu. Similar characters and some very heavy duty dialogues don’t help the cause but more over, it is the insipid story that is a let down.
