The film opened to pretty bad reviews, seemingly because of the bad script and the director inserting many unrelated characters from his other works into the movie.

Somebody even started a petition to “Stop this movie release, change the producer, director, script and remake it from scratch” on change.org but it has only got a few hundred signatures so far.
