2012 = a MAJOR disappointment!!

I'm soooo annoyed! I was really excited to watch 2012, expecting the normal big-budget action type film such as War of the World, Iron man, Transformers etc, all of which I enjoy hugely, but instead what I got was 158 minutes (yes, itt really was that long!!!) of utter drivel!!!

It was awful!!!



It was just STUPID!!!!

I don't expect this type of film to be ground-breaking in terms of storyline, in fact, I quite enjoy trying to work out the plot of the film from the trailers, and I more often than not succeed in doing so, but this one was awful. It was as though they just took all the elements which made other action films good and lumped them all together, threw in John Cusack and produced 2012! There was nothing original at all.

The main character in this film, Jackson Curtis is divorced from his wife and has a bad relationship with his children, especially his son. Sound familiar? It should, as they clearly borrowed heavily from War of the Worlds. This plot device worked well in War of the Worlds, as it set up sevaral confrontations and situations later in the film, which they were evidently hoping would work aswell in 2012, but it didn't.

I hated the actors which played John Cusack's ex wife and her new boyfriend. Him because he was really annoying and her because she was just dumb and spent most of the film relying on other people to look after her children, who I also take issue with. Also, when her supermarket was just torn apart by the Earth's crust moving, she called john Cusack and made him bring the children home (they were on a camping trip). She wanted her children in the place which had just been destroyed, the place she had nearly died!!! John Cusack was just a dumb, he took them back!!

There were just so many things wrong with this film! Woody Harrelson's character was just dreadful. He played the guy who seems a crazy conspirist by turns out to have been correct all along!!! But it was a really bad version of this character!!

It was just so unrealistic aswell!! I know the whole premise of the film IS unrealistic, but aside from that, its just so unrealistic!!! For example, John Cusack very quickly works out was happening!!! Doubtful! Then he manages to persuade someone to rent him their plane, by giving them his watch!!!! Even more doubtful!!! Then when he dies, his ex-wifes new boyfriend helpfully knows how to fly planes! hmmm, doubful!! And, its a completely different type of plane to that which he can pilot, but somehow he manages it!!!!! He is even able to co-pilot a giant plane later on in the film!!!!!! I refuse to believe this is possible!!!!! John Cusack is even able to run so fast, he can actually catch up with a plane on the runway!!! Now, whilst I believe John Cusack is very healthy, I doubt he can run as fast as that, I refuse to believe anyone can, because they can't!!!



They had the obligatory dumb blonde, who risks her life TWICE for her stupid dog!!! Nobody would do this in real life!!! It was all just ridiculous, everything managed to work out for them! Even when they were abondened in the new north pole, now in China, they manage to get picked up a Buddhist monk, who was on his way to the Arks being built to take a select few to safety! This monk just happened to have a brother who was working on the Arks, who just happened to know a way to stow them away!!!! Come on!!! If this was really possible, why would he be the only one to think of it?? And of course, at the end, there is the moment when you think John Cusack is dead and everyone is really sad, but he miraculously isn't and everyone is really happy! It was terrible!!

The CGI is also a bit crazy in this film, they seem to spend alot more time trying to make that amazing than worrying about the acting or the plot!

I also hate the children. They were everything I hate in children in films, cute, bratty, stupid (but ultimately brave) they scream, cry and generally just annoy me!!!

There is so much more wrong with this film, that I would need several blogs to tell you it all in! And I'm disappointed, as I hate it when an actor you really like is in such a bad film, you like to think they have a bit more taste.
I really did waste 158n minutes of my life!!

I give this film, out of a possible 5Ks, a well deserving 0K's.

Don't watch it, seriously, even tidying is more entertaining!!!
