“Sometimes you just got to stop and heed the warning signs found listed for certain movies here on IMDb. I opted to ignore them and decided to sit down to watch u0026quot;Mothu0026quot; because the concept sounded alright and the cover for the movie seemed interesting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, this 2016 movie turned out to be an ordeal of a movie to sit through. Why? Well, because it is incredibly slow paced, and also because the character gallery in the movie is very flaccid and quite far from being interesting in any way. The characters are one-dimensional and doesnu0026#39;t hold much of anything to make you take a liking to them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dialogue in the movie didnu0026#39;t really do much to help the pacing of the movie, nor did it do anything to promote the characters. The writing of the dialogue was uninspiring and the delivery of the dialogue by the cast was monotonous and was a bit difficult to take serious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Mothu0026quot; is the type of movie where you sit and watch it as you think u0026#39;I could just as easily have filmed that myselfu0026#39;. The camera is all over the place, and it feels like a home-made movie in every aspect. This particular style of movie presentation is one that I am not very fond of.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie runs with a minimalist cast, which means that there is some expectancy riding on the shoulders of those performing in the movie. And when the cast fails to deliver anything worthwhile, the entire movie just comes tumbling down hard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd it doesnu0026#39;t really work well in favor of the movie that there is so little happening throughout the course of the entire movie that you will be a great risk of actually hearing your own snoring as the movie trots on at a snail speed pace.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo do take heed of the warning signs and flashing symbols that scream at you not to waste your time, money and effort on movies such as this. Some of us failed to heed the warning and find ourselves with time taken away from us that we will never get back, and got nothing in return for this trade off in terms of enjoyment of a fulfilling movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Mothu0026quot; scores a meager 2 out of 10 stars from me. And this is without a doubt a movie that I will never return to a second time.”
