I knew this wasn't going to be a great movie when I went last night. It was even worse than I had anticipated. Having got to our seats with about 15 minutes to spare until showtime...well for a movie that was only on the start of it's 3rd week in theatre's...let's just say the 5 people that filled the seats at that time was a little more than surprising to me. It did however, fill up a bit...to maybe a quarter full. I couldn't help but wonder what show those stragglers were really trying to get into and it was sold out. The movie. Bad, ladies and gentlemen...really bad. The only parts that I thought were decent were the few fight scenes but the cameraman was so spastic that I swear they were shooting the scene while riding a mechanical bull. I actually laughed out loud in disbelief at one point. Right in the middle of this so called action flick I felt we were at "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (the tent scene). The scene was so out of context within the film that I just threw my arms up. There was one other notable. At different parts of the movie they would flash up coordinates of locations they were at. I had heard my hometown Kitimat made the big screen and yup...there it was...clear as this movie will go down in history like the sinking Titanic. I wonder how much Vin picked up for a paycheck on this puppy? Things that make you go hmm.
Do not go to this movie. Do not rent this movie. I am giving it two major thumbs down.
PS: The best line from the movie: "We're all gonna die in New York. Well, goodnight".
It is a little known fact, but "Vin Diesel" actually translates to "don't waste your money" in ancient Mayan.
ReplyDeleteI actually like Vin Diesel but realize he is NOT a good actor. Most of the time I just like the senseless entertainment...but for me...this movie was just really really bad.
ReplyDeleteI woulda just waited for the porn version, Babe-ylon A.D., it'll probably have a better story line.
ReplyDeleteTouche. *s*
