A bit of a giggle - but mainly a yawn.

That's it, I've had enough. Simply cannot stand reading a Jack Reacher any longer. Which is a shame because they used to be so enjoyable. If you can't write a plot where killers achieve their goal despite the presence of well trained agents on protection detail, then don't write at all. Utterly pathetic, and totally rediculous. If I suspend disbelief, please don't then take such liberties with it.

Jack Reacher has lost his mojo - and doesn't know where to find it! No plan B, and no plan C either.

The suspension of disbelief can only stretch so far, and certainly not as long as this tedious film lasts.
A totally over-egged disaster of a movie.

'I know, let's film all my wank fantasies as a series of vignettes, and then stitch them all together to make a movie,' said everyone whose film then crashed and burned. Over long, over egged, and overly self-distracted.

Oh dear!
Doesn't make sense.
Isn't credible.
Not at all believable.
A clunker of a sequel on so many levels.
Lyra at 20 isn't really explained.
Lyra as seen through the eyes of Pan, isn't illustrated - in fact, the opposite is often shown.
The great schism seems to defy the rules of what has gone before, and doesn't add up.
Malcolm is a pervy creep.
Alice is wasted.
No one has children!

Oh God, the trailer on TV made it look so pretentious and melodramatic that I couldn't be bothered watching.

A brutalised abuser and his enabler wife destroy a young life. Not content with this, they bring a brand new life into the family and start the process all over again, the mother proudly declaring that she will do to her daughter exactly what the father has done to his son. The trouble is, we're mostly told all of his, rather than shown it, and the piece falls flat. Compared to Lee Tamahori's 'Once Were Warriors', it fails to get to grips with violent abuse and its underlying causes, offering us instead a muted, intellectual exploration as opposed to a critical revelation. Perhaps it was written by someone on the outside looking in, who ultimately honours the mother and father, rather than revealing the full horror of their soul destroying selfishness. A numbed out world presented in an inappropriately numbing way. Such a shame.
