This past Wednesday I saw a preview screening of the upcoming Will Smith disaster
Seven Pounds (due out in December if there is no goodness or justice in the world). It's not video game related at all (except that any video game is better than this garbage, even Daikatana and Eternity's Child), but I am compelled to keep as many people away from this pile of crap as I can.
So here's the review. Please, please, PLEASE, do
NOT see this movie under ANY circumstances if/when it is ever released.
What makes a great game^Wmovie review? Is it thoughtful analysis of the themes and meaning behind the game^Wmovie? Is it a detailed list of flaws and successes in mechanics and presentation?
Of course not! It's the freaking
SCORE!
So here it is, The Score Whore Ultimate Review of
Seven Pounds, hopefully never in a theater anywhere near you.
Graphics: -10
Sound: -10
Gameplay: -10
Fun: -10
Overall: -10*
Place on the Top 5 Worst Movies of All Time: #1
* Scoring is on a scale of -10 to 11, because some games^Wmovies are Eternity's Child^W^WSeven Pounds and some games^Wmovies are almost as good as Super Mario World, respectively.
In fact, the only things at all redeeming about the film are the two times they crack someone's head on something (excellent sound effects that are very funny, though they're not supposed to be) and Will Smith being killed by a jellyfish in a bathtub full of ice. If this movie consisted only of these money shots, and not of anything resembling the movie they tried to make, it would be excellent. Also about 2 minutes long.
DO NOT SEE THIS FILM EVER! Hopefully it won't be released so you won't have the opportunity. It's fucking worse than dungeons & dragons, ang lee's the hulk, and star wars episode 3, combined. If you already don't like Will Smith it's even worse.
