Something got lost between the page and the screen, but it wasn’t anything physical. I think most reviewers simply have trouble with an immoral protagonist.

47 Ronin (2013) 40%
Without humor.
Red State (2011) 50%
Created with a naive understanding of sex, religion, and politics.
Brick Mansions (2014) 50%
Old-fashioned Cinemax Saturday-night fare. The parkour is neat, while the rest is quite silly.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) 50%
Slow, without any sense of importance.
Coherence (2014) 70%
A good, cheap idea for the most part well executed. The outdoor shaky-cam is annoying, and the cast is not likeable enough to care what happens to them, but otherwise it’s well done.
Hercules Reborn (2014) 30%
A cheap knockoff of something. Not the worst Asylum effort ever, but the acting and writing are too poor for this to be so heavyhearted.
Remember the Titans (2000) 70%
Sticky with sap from the Disney tree, but a good sports movie underneath.
Maleficent (2014) 40%
A good performance by Jolie cannot rescue the awful screenplay. Who knew that Sleeping Beauty was really about a deadbeat dad?
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) 60%
A bit darker, smarter, and less wondrous than the previous installment.
