OO...MMM...GGG... uullliivveerrr... Gulliver's Travels is undisputedly an epic fail. Has been a long time since I subjected my mind to such insult. Gave it a shot and I felt so "raped" of my time and intellect. I agree that every once in a while, a no-brainer movie is needed to take the stress off any Singaporean's hectic lifestyle. Still, Gulliver's Travels exceeds my "expectations" of what a no-brainer lame a** movie could accomplish.

An everyday, low-esteemed mailbox employee plagiarized a travel article to one of his lady superiors whom he had a crush for for 5 years. Impressed by his "falsified" accounts, she gave him an assignment to explore the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The rest of the plot needs no further elaboration.

I honestly thought that this movie was made for the sake of making it. There's no real purpose or substance to it, even if its sole purpose was to entertain, it wasn't able to even deliver that. If the purpose was to remake a classic, the director not only didn't do justice to it, but brought a bad name to Gulliver's Travels. Even with Emily Blunt as the gorgeous Princess of Liliput, nothing was able to salvage this doomed remake of the world-wide classic.

Thank you Jack. You have once again defined what a bad movie should be. Perhaps you should just stick to voice-overs from now on. You're good at that.
