Heroic sentimental crap at its worst

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2008)

I hate this movie!! I usually love Michael Bays's movies, except from this and the even worse: Pearl Harbor.
I don't know what I hate more. That the Americans once again save the world and no other country in the world can do it, the fact that several major cities around the world is destroyed and milions are killed but in the US, only a small part of N.Y. is destroyed, because the Americans are the only real humans, to hell with the rest of us, the president giving speeches while we watch children playing, the roughnecks/ astronauts walking in slow-motion towards the camera, the scene where the roughnecks sing, the love scenes between Affleck and Tyler, Affleck, Tyler being reduced to a sobbing pathetic woman waiting for daddy and her boyfriend to come home, Bruce Wiilis crying, the American flag, the complete unrealism of the plot, the fact that Afflecks character is a complete moron and Bruce fires him but still wants him on the team that's suppose to save the world?? You name moronic storyline and its on the screen. And lets not forget the awful musical score that made me wanna puke all the time.
I would like to see a spoof, where the oh so heroic, oh so perfect Americans tries to save the world but fails miserably and has to watch England or Norway save the world instead.
In real life all the US ever does is going into war with the middle east and treat all Europeans with no exceptions as potential terrorists at the customs at US airports. Something they have done ever since 9/11. And their current leader is the dumbest president ever, in the entire history of presidents all over the world.
So I guess you Americans need to believe you are heroes through movies, because in real life that is the last thing you are.
