Welcome back.

The whole production from inception to execution can be summed up in one element: Abominable Snowmen.

There is a point where film makers seem they’re just putting crap in to see how much an audience can take. Why not throw in some pirates and a giant bunny that spits lava? No, how about a fifty foot Chinese baby with a flaming skull for a head that can shoot nuclear warheads from its fingertips? That’ll be cool! This film actually sparks an interesting conflict. Is it reasonable for an audience member to expect anything from a movie like this? Is it fair to expect the filmmakers to actually give a crap? Content-free films like this are the cultural equivalent of a small kid who spins around in circles until they’re dizzy. There’s no greater goal involved in seeing this film other than achieving a few fleeting moments of being so distracted. And just like getting intentionally dizzy, it ends with the possibility of someone puking.
