stinks of MSG

Definition

A Hollywood blockbuster dripping with over-the-top special effects and wire-fu action sequences that screams 'cheap kung-fu flick energy'—all spectacle, no substance. It's the cinematic equivalent of artificial flavoring.

Example Usage

The latest superhero movie was just explosions and slow-mo fight scenes; the whole thing stinks of MSG.
