G-Force (2009)

Come on Disney - you can do better than this, 10 August 2009

I'm something of a closet Disney fan. When the family and I head to Disney World this year, it will be our fifth trip in the last four years. Of the recent crop of Disney or Pixar movies, I love The Incredibles and The Emperor's New Groove. I thought Bolt was wonderful. And while I usually enjoy (or at the very least tolerate) all things Disney, G-Force positively stunk-up the joint. I can barely remember so much as a smile crossing my lips. You can see everything that's remotely funny in the trailer. G-Force is dull, boring, uninteresting, and any other negatively charged descriptive word you can come up with. The plot was beyond ridiculous and doesn't even merit a mention. The characters, both human and CGI, weren't worth caring about – and that's a big problem with a movie like this. If you don't care about the characters, you don't have much. The music is mostly inappropriate to what's going on on-screen. The special effects weren't all that special. And whoever thought that Tracy Morgan was funny doesn't know much about comedy. Overall, G-Force is a real stinker of a movie.
