This film, though deeply flawed was still entertaining. I had a lot of fun watching it. I haven't read the book, and as always I'd like to advise anyone planning to watch to stick around for the end credits as there are scenes in them.
Plot - The plot was decent. It was coherent and well-written. There is a love story that's kinda thrown in there that I didn't really like, but other than that its pretty good.
Villan - The villains are never that good in movies. The one in this movie isn't much of an exception. His only motivation seemed to be his hatred for the post office, which wasn't really explained. Though not all of his plans worked, and some of them were kind of dumb, he was an actual threat. There was actual tension throughout the story because this guy is actually prepared to kill people to get what he wants and doesn't waste time with pointless monologues.
The Effects - I was laughing each time this movie attempted to use any kind of practical effects or CGI. This movie's sets are also bad - not as bad as the effects, but still. This movie clearly did not have the budget it needed. If this movie had more money to work with, I'm sure that it would've looked a lot nicer.
Acting - Most of the actors were pretty good. They make their cartoonish personalities come to life. I didn't like some of the characters. but that's not at the fault of the actors. I liked that the protagonists and the villains were all relatively clever and for the most part knew what they were doing. It made the story more enjoyable. There are some bits where smart characters act infuriatingly stupid, but nowhere near as much as some others.
Speed and Sound - There are a ton of scenes that are clearly sped-up. I don't know why. Most of them aren't even scenes where anything intense is happening. Its extremely awkward to see characters move around in that jerky fashion. There are also a lot of weird shots throughout the film that are incredibly cringeworthy. There are also some problems with the sound design. The voices and mouth movements didn't always match up.
Overall this was a fun, somewhat clever movie with some cringeworthy humor and presentation. I had a bit of fun watching this movie, but I probably wouldn't watch it again.
