A Great Popcorn Movie

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2007)

Many people have put up an argument that this is one of the best films to come out of 2007 so far. Now here's where I have to raise a hand and disagree. This was a good film, yes, with inspiring visuals and breathtaking action sequences. However, when it all boils down, this film wasn't really about changing the way you see a movie. It didn't really, how do you say, affect me as I came out of the theatre. My friend, however, couldn't shut up about it, and sighted it as one of the "greatest films he had ever seen". Now, not to be rude, but that's a horrible overstatement.
My rating, Eight out of Ten, is not rating it based on its quality as an Oscar-worthy film: rather, on its quality compared to most Hollywood films. This is not the greatest film of all time, nor will it ever *be* the greatest film of all time. It is merely a great excuse to go to the theatre, and I promise you, it is worth your money. But, just keep one thing in mind: do not walk into that theatre expecting an emotionally deep film that will run through your head, changing your point of view on mature matters. Rather, expect a great, entertaining time at the movies: one that will stick with you as a fun action film.
Eight out of Ten stars.
