Mini-Review: Fun gimmick.
Mini-Review: Flabby and convoluted plot that takes away from the characters, leaving them all flat and uninvolving. Yes, even poor, childlike Lisbeth is a caricature. Tries to present us with some thought-provoking material, but never rises above sexy scintillation. Christopher Plummer and Trent Reznor provide us with some of the only escapes from the pervasive drudgery.
Mini-Review: By the book existential crisis stuff. Cool stop motion and imagery.
Mini-Review: Robocop gets family-friendly, and really shitty.
Mini-Review: Only a moron or a homely tween would actually find Bieber's Scoot-assisted rise inspirational. He's talented to an extent, at least talented and photogenic enough to be made into a star (which has already passed.) The songs run the gamut from good to mediocre.
Mini-Review: Dumb down on all the themes that made the first one so good, throw in some extremely convoluted plot elements, and add in a dash of embarassingly bad actors.
