How entertaining, not.

Since the films aren't exactly just senseless violence. There's a lot of interesting things to talk about within them and the latest one in particular digs into what's going on in the here and now. If you just write off without looking into it, presuming that's what you're doing, you're judging a book by its cover in the worst of ways.

I know art can contain violence and still say something important about the human condition, but this ain't it.
