27. A film that is known for style over substance

That's a tough one. Hmm. Especially the 'known' bit as most films will have admirers that'll argue there is substance and plenty of it.

However, I don't think I've heard anyone defend By the Sea (the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie film) as being anything of substance but its admirers point out it's beautiful. The main criticism against it is that it's very, very boring.

:oD From what I've read of it, it sounds duller than ditchwater.

"Sin City". Visually splendid, dull as a very dull thing. The plot creeps along at an inch an hour, and I've never managed to make it through more than a half hour or so.

If it was just personal opinion, I think I might add "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them", which looks fab, but is Dullsville, and nothing really happens. Everybody else seems to like it though, so it's not 'known' as style over substance. I just think that it is!

Sometimes films just really don't appeal. Isn't there a Fantastic Beasts 2? Maybe all the action's in there?

Having said that, I've seen most of Fantastic Beasts 1 and I enjoyed it. Sorry.

I haven't seen Sin City at all.
