After a notable attempt by Twentieth Century Fox to hire talented directs in an effort to make a higher class of movie, the Studio seems to have submitted to their base desire to produce hollow, watered down for mass audience dirge with their contemporary reimagining of the classic Gulliver's Travels.
It's horrible. This is story telling by numbers with no attempt at wit, subtlety, depth, intelligence, suspense, excitement or fun. Events and characters go from A to B, not because they're logical or because the people feel motivated to do so, but because the idiotic script demands it. It's as simplistic as an early learning book for 5 year olds with all the shallowness that implies.
To be fair the production itself looks good, having a highly polished blockbuster look, and the special effects are absolutely top notch. The cast too, are impressive (featuring Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Emily Blunt, Billy Connolly, Chris O'Dowd, Catherine Tate and Jason Segal, but wasted in each and every case
. Oh, and if you want the icing on the cake, it also features UK so-called comic actor James Cordon in a small role. And he's a c**t. Thanks Fox. Go Fox yourselves.
