Tired and not in the best of moods (OK, I’m never in the best of moods), so I put off seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron. Without grand spectacle, I went for something of a more time wasting nature and something that didn’t cry out to be shared. I watched Mortdecai.
What can I say about Mortdecai? It did not have Captain America in it, though I have no doubt that if he would have suddenly appeared, the film would have improved. Nor was there a Hulk; bringing in the Hulk would have made the plot more meaningful. There were no power beams, which I think was a mistake. Nor was there any magic, super speed, or mystical hammers. Any of these would have greatly aided Mortdecai.
What does it have? It has Johnny Depp doing a silly voice. Not, mind you, a funny voice, just a silly one. He also has a silly mustache. And silly teeth. And he makes silly faces. And jokes…ah, no, it doesn’t have those.
Might I suggest you give it a miss. I should have.
