The filmmakers seem unconcerned about appealing to anyone who isn’t a 9-year old boy; aside from the occasional throw-away line, there’s little here to interest adults.

The last "Star Wars" movie is the most bloated and least satisfying of all the main-line adventures.

An engaging batch of campfire stories told from a fresh perspective, and that’s worth something in the stale world of PG-13 horror.

There are no real characters here, just quickly sketched stick figures in too-tight costumes that deliver a few solid laughs but not much more.

The movie doesn’t do anything well and it’s an open question why anyone would pay money to see a reworking of a premise that offers so little.

With a dose of comedy, a dash of romance, and some CGI-heavy battles, the film accomplishes what it needs to do.

What the film fails to deliver in adrenaline, it makes up for with testosterone-flavored laughter.

Although not “bad” in a conventional sense, it’s a disappointingly mediocre effort that doesn’t have a lot to offer potential viewers over age 10.
