Seriously what was that? Such a waste of an amazingly talented actress.

SHE HAD A MUCH BETTER ROLE ORIGINALLY...THEN THEY DID A REWRITE AND SHE GOT STUCK AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

They really didn't know what they were doing with this movie.

NO THEY DIDNT.

Yeah. A complete waste.

Jennifer Lawrence also seemed to phone it in.

Fassbender, McAvoy and Hoult are the only ones who came out of this with respect. Even then they weren't on top form. You have to blame the direction and writing.
