No surprise it's review score is low. It's a copy, a blatant grab -for-cash copy. Pathetic.

This is an obvious carbon copy at work with a lazy twist on the plot. The issue isn't about being a kid show, or that it's "just a fun little show" it's about taking someone's idea and style and blatantly trying to cash in. This show is a perfect example of someone seeing a successful show and getting dollar signs on their eyes. Hopefully at the end of the the shows flops and hopefully not too many views become invested in it.

The colours, the family dynamic, the spirit and feel are direct carbon copies of a successful show developed by others who had the imagination and put in the effort to get it going when they're was nothing like it. Lazy carbon copy mercenaries.

After initially hearing about this movie I was very positive that it would be awesome. The producers had one of the best stories in the world, a charismatic main character, beautiful (and photogenic) cars, spectacularly beautiful region, stylish fashion. I thought this movie would be impossible to stuff up.

But the trailer had me a little worried - seemed a bit......B grade??

Then I saw the movie and I realised they stuffed it up. Maybe it was budget, I don't know, but this movie doesn't play like an A grade movie.

The story focused too much on the boring bits and not enough on the (copious) interesting bits. Super missed opportunity.

I just hope someone makes decent doco on the man + business + cars and then maybe they can have a crack at a movie some time later.

I was emotionally sucked in at the start, it was credible motivation for a revenge obsessed bad guy, but as the movie went on it seemed to fall to pieces. Maybe it was the writing, maybe the directing, but at the end of the day, no-one seemed to be around to make sure the movie stayed on point. It was the gags, it was the lines, even the acting seemed below par in places. The voices of goats was clearly a human. I just don't get it, Ragnarok was so well balanced while this one looked like it was given to a different director with the instructions to make it like the previous one. In other words, it tried, missed the point and ended up mocking itself.
