Wanted....I Must See This Movie!

I watched this last night too. It was ok.. the stoy line reminded me to much of the first Matrix movie though. Think about it... and you'll agree. Angelina for petes sake eat some food. OMG did you see her arms? Nothing but skin and bones.

I thought McAvoy did a good job of acting, but of course Morgan Freeman is the real star of the movie. He just rocks on every role he plays.

Action scenes were pretty good in the movie... it was entertainment for sure... nothing really new or anything that makes you go wow.. except that long range rifle. Cool.

I just finished watching it. I have to say I did enjoy it more than Shoot Em Up. At least this one had a reasonable storyline...

Looked nice in Hi-Def on my PC, too....

Finally got around to watching this. I won't say it was terrible, but it wasn't good. Yeah, the action was good. But some things bothered me....

I'm willing ot suspend disbelief for a movie. It's not a problem. I have no problem with the fact that in the world of this movie, people can curve bullets and flip cars over other cars and all the other awesome things they do. No problem.

What I have a problem with is internal inconsistencies. They make such a big deal about how these guys are basically perfect assassins, show NUMEROUS times them curving bullets around corners to shoot someone perfectly.... and then later in the movie there's an extended chase scene with constant shooting from these so-called amazing marksmen where they don't hit a damn thing? The big chase scene with the Viper and box truck (um, why have a Viper if it can't outrun a box truck, exactly?), it ends with the g uy, in mid-crash, shooting around a bridge and perfectly hitting both tires of the Viper. I'm fine with the fact that he's able to do that - that's the movie, no problem. But why did he just spend 10 minutes chasing them down and missing wildly? Why not use your skills at the beginning of the chase ?

I know you guys are gonna tell me it's just a movie and stop analyzing, but... sorry, that's the way I work. Like I said, if it was just the "we can defy physics" stuff, I"d be fine with it, it's when they establish a set of rules and then only use them when it's convenient, and completely ignore it when it makes for better crashes and booms.

A little silly, but entertaining if you're bored. And I thought Angelina looked just fine.

+1 million. I dvr'ed this on Cinemax and can't believe I forced myself to watch it till the end.

I had no intention of seeing this movie as I didn't like the trailer. Just didn't look good to me -- I didn't want to see a movie about people who could shoot anything in any circumstances. Little did I know it was a movie about people who could shoot anything only when it was convenient to push along the half-**** storyline. :rolleyes:

And is there a script that Morgan Freeman ever says no to? Seriously, he has got to be trying for a world record or something.
