Whats up with the low rating?


Me and my family watched this and were laughing non stop and had a blast. I was laughing throughout the entire thing, and the entire cast had spot on acting. My only little complaint is that whole thing with Gal Gadot trignon lingerie, although hot, felt very stretched and could have easily been removed from the movie, and the fighting was pretty cheesy, but other than that...I thought this movie would of have like a 6.5-7/10 on here

I thought it was quite dull, predictable, and uninteresting. I gave it a 3/10. Gadget in lingerie was the highlight of the film...

Its current rating of 5.8 seems very generous in my opinion.

I pretty much agree with MarwoodWalks.

but i don't mind it being predictable since the vast majority of movies out there don't do something new/original etc. like i always say... it's not about doing something new/original but taking a idea that's already been done and doing it well.

Gal Gadot etc in lingerie was basically the highlight of the movie (which is what MarwoodWalks said). but that aside... i did have a little laugh once in a while but the movie as a whole is pretty dull.

it's current 5.8/10 (with 10,354 votes) average is generous in my mind as i would say 5.8/10 for an average is a bit high considering i have seen some movies score around that or lower that are solid movies but in general there is VERY few movies on IMDb that have a 5.9/10 or lower average score that i personally scored a 7 or higher. so for the most part anything that has a average under a 6.0 is nearly guaranteed to be nothing special given my experience in what i have seen even though it's happened. but once you get into the 4.x/10 or lower range it's pretty much non-existent (with only one exception for me).

i gave it a 4/10 (which is below average). for measure... most movies i have seen score either a 5/10 (Thumbs Down, but usually decent enough to see once) or a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up). only 201 movies (which is "My Favorites" link below in my signature) managed to score a 7 or higher from me.

so while i don't think it's failure level (which anything a 3/10 or less is 'failure and/or boring' for me) it's not much better than that range.

but i will say in terms of straight comedies, which this movie would be in that category, it's fairly difficult to find any of those of any real worth. in fact, the most recent straight comedy that i think stands out is... We're the Millers (2013) which i gave a 7/10 which makes it within my Top 201 movies in general.

p.s. to be clear... movies ill re-watch from time-to-time cannot score lower than a 6/10 for me and movies that i won't re-watch cannot score higher than a 5/10. that's my basic Thumbs Up vs Thumbs Down of a movie as movies of any real worth are movies you want to re-watch from time to time as the years pass and those that don't pass that basic test are ultimately forgettable (hence, Thumbs Down for the forgettable movies).

yeah this movie is aids. it doesn't deserve any higher than 5/10 max.

Why the low rating? Because today's movie watchers are cynical a$$holes who need serious movies with back story. Fun in movies are a huge no no since 2009. The magical year that digital TV was mandatory, smartphones became attached to everyone's hip, social media has dulled the senses of most of the planet to where you have to message your family instead of calling. Otherwise it would be a bother to them. People litter the streets with protests because the tension in the air is so thick, it could be cut with a machete. Political mania, stress! I don't get it. It's a whole new world and it will only get worse. This movie was FUN and put a smile on the few we watched in the theater with!!!

that movie was indeed quite terrible and unfortunately unfunny.
rated at 4/10 IMO.
