“Chappie is exuberant, playful, funny and perhaps one of the most human characters to grace the screen in years. Heu0026#39;s an unwilling action hero that one can both identify with and admire. His story is gripping and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately some of Chappieu0026#39;s brilliance comes at the expense of the world around him. Plot holes and logical fallacies abound, and although some of it can be written off to the imperfection of humanity (a central theme in the movie) there are enough u0026quot;Wait, why the would he/she/they do X.u0026quot;u0026quot; moments to be a significant distraction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany reviewers have complained that Chappie Cliché. In an era where the majority of box office darlings with u0026gt;8 star reviews are remakes, reboots or result of the Disney/Pixar/Marvel equation the majority of those reviewers are clearly either hypocrites or they donu0026#39;t know what cliché means. Chappie is soaked in the Blomkamp style and while that style was new and fresh with District 9, its unreasonable to expect a directoru0026#39;s primary product to be novelty.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall itu0026#39;s a good movie, certainly more interesting than most of the box-office-safe fare out thatu0026#39;s been out there.”
