The sound is great, the explosions are great, the look and feel could have been turned into something special. It’s the words and plot that are huge negatives here.

A film that strives to make you think, and even tug at your heart. But the central foundation of the entire enterprise is so shaky that the walls and plaster are falling down all around you, even as you’re trying to make sense of it all.

It’s half of a good movie, and another half that no one asked for or wanted.

Ride Along is a strong recommend when Hart is talking, but merely a mediocre attempt at a movie when he’s not.

The idea of the film is certainly clever enough, it’s the execution that lacks finesse.

You won’t be upset you saw it, you’ll have some fun, you’ll see Wolvie beat the living hell out of a helicopter. These are good things, and it’s why studios are provided huge budgets to play with in the first place.

Educational content, clever and photorealistic dinosaur CGI, and John Leguizamo voicing a prehistoric bird. What else would one need for a fun movie stew?

Relentlessly awful.

Could have been a fun film, but instead merely displays the trappings of one.

Like a swollen boxer's eye, it should have been cut.

Not recommended for anyone but the hardiest of animation completists, this one is a definite skip. There’s nothing to note, nothing to grasp, nothing in which to find mirth. You could Escape from Planet Earth, but you’re better off just ignoring it.

The Smurfs 2 is not so much of a film as it is a collection of images and sounds that bludgeon you.

Little chance of finding realism or romance but the laughs are there.

Even when compared against other films that have been adapted from Nicholas Sparks novels, Safe Haven is terrible.

After Earth stupefies us with nonsense, such little thought and logic went into this idea that it can’t even be considered a rough draft, this is a movie almost daring an audience to emotionally detach throughout. For shame!

This is a story that has everything you’re looking for, provided that you’re looking for absolutely nothing.

That it’s not totally dialed in throughout makes it a victim of the same thing most bad movies fall prey to: having the spark of a great idea rested awkwardly on top of a spinning mess of execution.

The entire enterprise is a bewildering mess, put in place only to frustrate and alienate anyone who buys a ticket. Every action scene is telegraphed, and most of the dialogue is irrevocably stupid.

The rare example of a film that had to have been a tonal mystery to everyone involved for the entire process of scripting, shooting, and editing. The lingering issue? They never managed to crack the case.

One terrible sub-plot away from being a legitimately good movie.

There is a legitimate film in here somewhere, buried deep beneath the rubble of its terrible script and editing.

A movie of fools, by fools, for fools, Grown Ups 2 is easily forgotten, which isn’t as bad a feature as you’d think.
