Mindless boring endless action with mediocre VFX put me to sleep a few times.
Best part of the movie was the kid and his phenomenal skateboarding. It's the only thing that sticks in my mind after watching the entire movie. Everything else was a forgettable blur.
Being forced a long backstory within minutes of the movie with horrid narration made me dislike it from square one. The WALL to WALL music also didn't fool me. You only put wall to wall music in a movie or show when things just aren't working story-wise and the endless music is somehow supposed to seam up those plot holes or poor acting. Nope. Sorry, didn't fool me.
Don't get me wrong. It is fun to take your kid to the movie as there hasn't been another movie to even see in the theater since Top Gun came out in May. But be warned. It's not good. My kid liked it and that's all that matters. I got a couple mini naps in during this "action packed" movie and spent time with family, and that's a pretty good Sunday if you ask me.
But, will never watch again....ever.
