2.0

A thief is betrayed and thought dead, only he comes back to get even. The visuals are fantastic, the story itself is wildly predictable and the exposition very clumsy. I really don’t get the hype around it. No character was complex enough to be interesting, none of them were likeable, and they have antiquated, wind-up toy motivations that just put them on the most cookie-cutter paths. Never a moment to pass up either showing women beat up or used for sex, usually half naked, and all drawn so much the same I couldn’t say for sure which woman was whom if their pictures were in a line-up right now, after just reading it in one sitting.
