Chappie
Oh boy, where to start? Firstly, the main characters are annoying unlikable pricks who made me want to punch someone. Did Neil Blomkamp really think I would root for these people? Chappie was also a really unlikable character, made only to spout some pretentious bullshit about emotions and whatnot, and also to be the main characters slave for most of the film. The CGI is good, and Sharlto Copley did a good voice performance as Chappie (did he do the mo-cap, or was Chappie entirely CG?), and Dev Patel was likable enough, dsepite being featured in the film for like, 10 minutes. And don’t get me started on Hugh Jackman’s cringeworthy villain. The worst line in big budget cinema history will forever be “How 'bout a clusterbomb? Heheheh!” The whole film felt like Short Circuit + Robocop + Housos - anything good about those three things,
Final rating: 3/10
I really really tried to enjoy this movie, but I just couldn’t. You pretty much addressed all of its issues, it’s pretty sad that all of the potential went to waste
