Simply. Awful. Is it the worst movie I've ever seen? Ummm...probably. At this moment, I cannot think of ONE single movie that's worse. It's worse than Percy Jackson. It's worse than The Hunger Games (I only watched the first one, and it was AWFUL. The books deserved better. So. Much. Better.) This isnt even B-movie, love to roast it type of bad. It's bad, bad.
As an aside, I never read the book(s), so I have nothing to compare the story line to; however, that doesn't keep this movie from being TERRIBLE.
What makes it terrible? Lack of character development. Crappy narration. Choppy story line. Cliche dialogue. Too much exposition. Stilted acting performances. I could go on and on.
