Vince Vaughn’s ‘Unfinished Business’ Flops, ‘Chappie’ Stumbles With $13.5 Million

Yeah, for some reason the trailer let on that DR was only going to make a cameo, maybe for a training montage or something, and I guess if they were going to make a cameo playing one of their songs would be acceptable. But to have them as main characters? To basically use a set from one of their music videos as their hideout? They didn't even have movie names, they used their actual fucking stage names. And the t shirts, oh fuck it was so distracting. I mean, it's cool that the movie was set in south Africa and they featured arguably the only globally famous South African stars out there, but they were just way too overplayed.

And the movie just had so many obvious flaws. Usually it's not until I see the CinemaSins video or reddit comments or something before I actually realize mistakes and flaws a movie had, but for Chappie I was just screaming internally while watching the movie. Like, really? You're going to use a spray painted yellow AR for every crime you commit? You're going to hang out around a rich neighborhood all day in a beat up van while stealing expensive cars with a fucking police robot? How could the armored car heist possibly be the first time the news reported the "evil" cop robot when literally days before that he was terrorizing a presumably influential and high profile community? How did the supposedly high security facility that was filled to the tits with guards and engineers go 5 whole fucking days without looking at the screen that tells them which droids are currently active? Doesn't that seem like it would be kinda important, like a good way to tie up a shift or something? Why did the MOOSE only have one normal vision camera, and why was it so exposed and easily destroyed? Like the whole machine was built from grenade proof armour, yet it's eye, literally the only way the operator can tell what's going on with the MOOSE, is just sticking out like a sore thumb and is apparently made out of a normal old not bullet proof camera... You could literally disable the fucking thing with a couple well placed rocks. I could go on and on about the logic flaws and stupid decisions made in this movie, but I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir here so I'll finish.
