Cinephile No. 490 “CHAPPiE”
If you’ve ever thought, I wish someone would combine the plot lines of “A.I.” and “RoboCop,” plus awful acting, may I recommend “CHAPPiE.” Seriously though, this movie was without a lot of original thought. The most well thought out and developed character is the robot. His ability to be swayed by those around him is annoying and frustrating. Every character is unlikeable to the point you don’t know who to care about on an emotional level. As you trudge through the story, you know, as is the case for 99% of action movies, we are building up to a final and climatic sequence. By the end, I hoped they would all kill each other. Much like this movie, the world would have been much better without them in it.
Thanks for entering my world,
