Wow, I'm very surprised that CP seemed to collectively enjoy this movie. I guess I might be in the minority here, but it felt way too cheesy and over the top. Even for a "check your brain at the door, summer movie."
There was very little character progression, a lot of cheesy lines between the brothers, and characters just making dumb, unrealistic decisions every second.
The CGI and action were very good and don't take away from the film at all, but other than that I was not impressed. Oh, and Chris Pratt is solid, but doesn't get near enough screen time.
I don't remember the original being this over the top, but then again maybe my memory is just bad. Very surprised at the reception it's getting though.
