I wonder how much money they dumped on his lawn to get him to star in this film. Zoom is based on a graphic novel Zoom’s Academy for the Super Gifted, and stars good old Tim Allen. Well, I’ve never seen that movie but I know it is a popular cult film, and to even compare Zoom to both that and the X-Men feels incredibly infuriating. People have described Zoom as “ Galaxy Quest meets the X-Men”. You have such travesties to cinema like The Smurfsand Alvin and the Chipmunks, and they are making millions, while actual good films like The Secret of NIMH are forgotten in favour of cheap fart jokes. I’m not saying that children’s films today are dreadful, but somewhere along the line, certain corners of Hollywood decided that children were so stupid and easily distracted that they could put any garbage onto the big screen and they would eat it all up. Well, I’ll tell you something, if you’ll allow me to get on my soapbox – when I was a child I grew up on some of the greatest children’s films of all time.
The actors, or at least those who have some notable credits, are floundering with the low level quality of the script, the story is a confusing and dumb, not one of the characters is likeable or even developed, yet some people think this film should be let off because it is a children’s movie.
