Everyone loves the Sam series for it's easy storytelling with fun and always something to learn for the kids regarding safety issues. Also slow pace screens and time to focus on the scene. The movie has simply nothing of that. Very fast cuts, which 3-4 year childs never will be able to folllow completly. Filming incidents with the smartphone instead of helping? This will cause legal issues in real live. Firing of Sam has been the absolute no-go. Every child, if able to get the scene, is heartbroken. We is someone doing this to a young audience? Yes the following reflection of his live has been the strongest scene during the movie, but only adults got this. "Hollywood is coming"?? Not one child in the world gets this. Missed the audience completly.
Of course the movie has it's ups with big picture fire and rescue action. But if you go to it, and expecting the same as the series, you'll be disappointed.
