This action comedy wasn't bad. There were some genuinely funny parts to it. Ignore the fact that the characters can 'materialize' any gun or tool they need, and have fun.

    Well anything with Angelina in it is going to be ok. Hell it could be in a foreing language and it would be ok. I could just watch her walk around and be happy!

    Tomb Raider is better than a porno to me!! :p

    Ha ha. She looks the part and lives it, too.

    Skankiness aside, she's a good actress. Not sure why she gets put into action roles. IMO, she's not convincing as a tough girl. Due to the high level of skankitude, she makes a great seductress, temptress, criminal, crazy person, woman of leisure, etc., but an action flick? Nah. She doesn't need to carry a gun because she's already fully loaded.

    Having said that, I plan to see the movie when it comes out on DVD.

    Well my girlfriend likes Brad Pitt so last night we went to see this flick. I guess I'm in the minority here because I thought this movie was a real bow wow! The plot [what there was of it] was just ridiculous. There were a couple of laughs but it was nowhere near enough to save this train wreck. When we were leaving the theater I asked the girlfriend what she thought of the movie and she laughed and said it was lame! I want my $19.00 back!

    This one is out today, and I'm going to pick it up. I know it's just going to be pointless fun, and well, I do find Bradd Pitt to be a very good actor. I've heard despite the story (duh) the acting is actually pretty good, and hey...Angelina Jolie is always fun to watch.

    Great movie. We enjoyed it. Lots of action, funny, great storyline and plot twists, wonderful acting. Just average sound, even in DTS. Worth eventually buying on sale or used.

    Good movie overall, funny, and full of action. Brad is a great actor IMO, and Angelina is good as well. Me and the lady enjoyed watching this one together last night, very entertaining, and I am glad I made this purchase. By the way, I would love to have the arsenal that Pitt had out back. :eek:

    I really am making no reference to this post, just wanted to make sure the picture was seen again.

    Okay, so I just saw this movie on my 3.1 system. No surrounds, but I still liked the sound. Lots of bass in the music score, which was nice.

    Pretty good movie. It was a fun one, thats for sure. I wish there had been more Vince Vaughn. He played his role very well. I really enjoy his subtle dry humor.

    I thought the movie could have been a bit tighter. It should have been more like a 1.5 hour movie, not 2 or whatever it was. It seemed as though there were two endings, whereas one would have done.

    Anyways, its worth watching for sure.

    :) Just hooked up my new adcom 5500 to my rti150s and opened up the movie I just bought. Been waiting all week to buy the movie because I wanted to hear it with my new amp. Well worth the wait. The mall scene at the end just blew me away. With my previous setup on movies like Star Wars, WOTH, etc, if I cranked it past -21 the receiver would shut down. Now with the 5500 I watched MAMS at -16 and everything was great. During the intense parts I got some blinking out of my distorsion lights but all sounded fantastic. Needed to be R and show a little more of Anjelina though. Enjoy, I know I did.

    I just watched this on the system...

    Had some pretty low bass notes - not like WOTW of course... but still shifted some furniture here and there...

    I enjoyed it again for the 2nd time... action and some funny parts - COOL.

    Just wathced this tonight. It wasnt half bad at all. I like Brad Pitt and of course Angelina so I wasnt going to require too much earth shattering film making. The story was a little convoluted and the ending was a little too abrupt but still worth the rental. Doubt if Id buy it tho.

    Id say 7 out of 10

    Saw it last night, rental. It was hard to keep the eyelid focus. DTS is decent, a couple of great songs, action is ok and predictable. Definitely a watch-one-time deal.

    I don't know, I kinda enjoyed it. Reminded me of the "War of the Roses" during the fight in the house. Was it a perfect movie, of course not, but it wasn't bad either. It was entertaining, but not Oscar material. Gotta love how that Grand Caravan out maneuvered three BMWs. I'm sure that ya'll could pick it apart, but if I remember correctly, they weren't hyping this movie as an epic, just something fun.
