I am going to keep this short, as I feel the flaws have already been covered in other reviews. The majority of the people who enjoy this film the most likely would never write a review here. From what I can tell, the target audience is about 12 of all genders. Its intended to be an enjoyable teen adventure movie, as the games were first intended.

Unfortunately for the reputation of this movie and those who made it, the generation who enjoyed the game series grew up into adults. However, this particular movie did not make the jump. Call it a "Reverse South Park."

I honestly almost fell to sleep at a few parts. I did enjoy the acting of the ship Captain she works with. I see potential for him and some of the other actors. It stands alone well as a good teen/kids action movie, not quite G. Some of the actors like Daniel Wu. I would love to see Daniel Wu in more American films.

So as a 32 year old, its a 5 for me. However, I see the 7 in it for a younger audience. Enjoy if this appropriates you.

Those who know me in real life know that I rate hard. Its actually extremely rare that I take the time to even rate a movie or tv series if I do not like it. Looking at my ratings and reviews, you'll mostly see movies or shows that I enjoyed.

I actually quite liked Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but got sick of how Kaitlin Olson's character was endlessly the brunt of the joke. Eventually, it wore out. People don't want the same joke over and over.

Why this show is a 10 to me, and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an 8, is that it breaks away from repetition. Each episode's plots are well developed and unique.

At first, I was worried that they were going to constantly make Alba the brunt of the joke. But instead, they continuously switch it up. The show only gets more funny the more you watch it.

One thing to keep in mind about this show is that it is fiction. While these are realistic portraits of human behavior, they are parodies of very nasty people. If that's something you cannot handle, then its probably not for you.

I would categorise this as an Aggressive Black Comedy. If you're easily offended, then I wouldn't recommend it.

It tends to be over-the-top at points despite realism. The reason I keep coming back to this point is that its not for everyone. People who don't share a vicious, fictitious dark sense of humor will not like this show.

All of the actors and actresses in the show are top knotch in the world of comedy. I always look forward to a new episode. I even recommended it to my parents, who got hook'd.

I don't have much else to say because I am choosing to keep this as a spoiler-less review.

I will end with: this is a show for adults. If you are a parent to an underage-er who is interested in watching the show, preview it for yourselves first and make a decision as parents/guardians. While there is no nudity, there is a lot of implications and even a little bit of fluids that may make parents uncomfortable.

The best way to enjoy this show is to not know what to expect. There's tons of unpredictable moments that are better not spoiled.

I make sure to catch every episode. Kaitlin Olson has become my favorite female comedian due to this show. I hope this review helps you make a decision on whether or not this show is worth your time.

Best Wishes.
