I could grumble and whine about remakes all day, but I found some reviews from Letterboxd and IMDb that do a much better job summing up these modernized versions of classic movies. Well, maybe don’t tell people you still work there if it’s such a sore issue, Sam Rockwell." —Parker, Letterboxd I never saw him again." —xtini, Letterboxd Unfortunately, in between all of those moments is a pretty boring plotline with characters that you never really care about. If you like mindless action (nothing wrong with that) then you will probably like this movie - although most of the “action” is extreme sports, not really guns. Apparently, I have to write at least ten lines of text, but honestly there isn’t much more to say about the movie!" —allstarrunner, IMDb Very bland Exceedingly bland You won’t quite believe how bland this film is. How can I explain it…? Picture, if you will, a scene (not from this movie). Orlando Bloom is sitting in a room on a bare wooden chair. The room has magnolia walls, a cream carpet and beige curtains. Orlando is wearing a symphony in beige: beige trousers, beige t-shirt and beige cardigan. From one corner the music of Coldplay is playing. In front of him a TV playing party political broadcasts. In one hand he has a lettuce sandwich on white bread. It takes him thirty minutes to slowly eat the sandwich. That my friends is only a fraction of how truly bland this film is. […] You could watch a film and think it’s bland but I promise you, that will only be a tiny fraction of how impossibly, mind boggling bland this film is. It’s so bland that I started to forget about the film whilst I was still watching it. It even makes The Crucifixion seem bland. It is Bland Hur Very Bland Hur The very Blandermost Hur And bland my friends, is often worse than bad. The chariot bits are alright though." —Steve P, Letterboxd
