Road to Witch mountain- A Disney disaster

RWM is a movie which i expected to be a fun joy ride with enough laughs as i was quite impressed with the trailers. And as it is Disney's production i wanted this to work. It did get decent numbers in US which just increased the hype. But when i finally happened to see the 100 minutes i finally understood that with proper marketing and good trailer even a B grade no good movie can be pushed to the A segment. Dwayne Johnson was good and he acted much better than his previous attempts but he needs to work on the importance of reading the script and not just his dumb dialogues. The movie opened with a impressive title credits. But the very next second you will understand that the production company had to work with little funds as the sfx shots used was very cheesy and they tried not to use much of sfx footage. Maybe if the sfx is done properly the movie might have been much better movie but overall there was a lack of depth in the movie and it just was too plain for me to enjoy. I will advice you to skip this as this race is not worth taking.

A B-grade movie trying too hard to come as an A grader.

Stars - .5/5
