Action Hero MoviesThe first 15 minutes of this movie comprise boring, irritating drama — highly skippable, even though it features an aged Danny DeVito (in his mid 70s).
After that, it gets really weird. If you thought a bunch of grown men & women acting like teenage goofballs in new bodies wasn’t weird enough, this time they’re acting like irritating elderly cripples — always complaining & ignoring etc. That’s quite a turn off in the first half hour, and there’s still a good 90 minutes to go! At this rate, this movie will be lucky to score Below Average which is a darn shame seeing how it stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart.
It’s sad to say, considering its star cast members in Dwayne and Kevin, but this movie is genuinely hard to watch at times. Especially when they start waffling with the new co-main cast member after 50 minutes in — that’s Awk Wafina, the same docile-come-hyper dumpy-butch Chinese chick in all the action movies lately — and then things stay boring for pretty much the entire movie thereafter. The Rock doesn’t get nearly enough screen time, and when he does, it’s so lifeless & bad, it kind of seems like it’s been Deep Faked, like he was ever really there and it’s all made with AI. As such, this movie warrants a Barely Watchable rating, which is several levels worse than the 2017 movie which was bad enough at Bang Average.
