About the blog:

Well, hello!
Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app.
Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW:
This was an okay movie. Not horrible, but not great.

There seemed to be no real plot development or character development made to make you care about who you were watching. No emotional attachment with the people at all. Seemed flat. I did like the little bits of humor found throughout, but that was nowhere near enough to keep me satisfied that I just paid $5.65 for an ICEE that I could have gotten at 7-11 for less than $2.

A few acting lessons would not have been a bad investment. Sometimes it was over the top cheese-tactic and other times it was just not enough to make me believe that it wasn't the first read through.

Captain America fights the Nazis. Just a bit too cliche. It's a kids movie. Pure and simple.

MY REVIEW:
This was not a horrible movie. This was not a great movie either.  I liked the first act. It was set up pretty well. I mean, they made the bosses totally "those" kind of people whom you really want to hate from the word go. Good job with that.

After about an hour, my attention went to other things like what I was going to make for breakfast tomorrow and when would this movie end?

At some point, there was just a lack of empathy for the workers and I just started taking the side of the horrible bosses! They became almost at bad as the bosses. It felt like there was just no end tho this movie. There was no point to the entire thing!

Forgettable.
