For me, not super incredible but still watchable

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2010)

I'm not going to sit here and say the film is trash and the people that like it are stupid, I'll simply give my thoughts and reactions when I watched the film. I only watched the film once when my brother rented it on DVD roughly a week after it was released, if for no other reason than I could hold my own in a discussion about the film should I ever find myself in one. I didn't see it in 3D at the movies, and I never will. Not because I have some sort of objection to the technology, but rather because my eyes do not focus correctly for some reason, which makes watching films through the 3D glasses extremely painful and not worth any of my extra money. I try and avoid reading reviews or opinions on a film before watching it so that I am able to formulate my own more easily. Even in plain old regular 2D on my 21" television, it still was very pretty to look at. It wasn't difficult to follow the story (or plot, I don't see a difference between a film's story or its plot. I know some of you are begging to prove how wrong I am about this, so please let me know what this movies story was and what its plot was and how they are different) The action scenes and dialogue weren't terrible, but I don't expect to hear anyone singing their praises or quoting them for decades to come. A bit presumptuous for me to say, as I don't have a crystal ball to know for sure, but no more presumptuous than someone saying they will. At the end, I was pretty entertained by the film. Certainly never going to crack my top ten favorite films or ever top twenty, but certainly not a waste of the 2 and a half hours I spent watching it. Would I watch it again? Probably not on my own, but if my friends or family were having a get together and someone wanted to, I wouldn't object. 7/10.
