Mortal Engines (2018)

this might have flop written all over it

It does not look good and the X-mas competition won't help it either.

That's basically the only thing that drew me in. And he was fine, but even he couldn't lend much credibility to such a strange premise.

To be honest I fell asleep and missed maybe the middle 30 minutes or so of the movie, heh. But I don't think it made much difference. The movie has tons of impressive visuals, but it was difficult to care about much of what was going on.

I basically used the movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon and it fueled my nap quite well. 👆

Tried watching this awhile back, got maybe 25-30 mins before I turned it off.

They should've just done a movie about Shrike. His character was awesome.

Yeah Shrike was seriously an interesting character.

Not many movies can introduce a one dimensional character & then build up on its personality as the story progresses...

I was seriously hoping this movie was dark, gritty & on a LOTR scale.

I didn't realise it was based on a teen-market novel in the vein of Hungergames or Divergent.

I (sort of) watched the movie, but I couldn't tell you who Shrike is.

Shrike was the unstoppable assassin.

It was filled with bland characters, I liked Hugo Weaving but the rest was awful
