Absurd ratings...just a little better than GI Joe - rise of the Cobra

Rating: 3/10 (17 August 2009)

Recently saw this and GI Joe on successive days. I was blown away... by how overrated this movie is on IMDb. #26 at the time of this writing, one of the best movies ever - yea right. What a mockery of the ratings. Pretty average and mostly bad movie with a lot of cheesy action and trying to be profound with 3rd grade "subtle" social commentary.
As others have said this movie is not sci fi at all. Its irrelevant that these are supposedly extraterrestrial aliens - just like the alien ship is basically a backdrop piece of scenery. Its mostly just a marketing ploy "Lets stick in aliens and that will draw in the crowds"
This is a typical summer action movie and not even done well, about on a par with the movies Stallone used to put out. It is very annoying that the movie thinks it is saying smart things about humans cruelty to other humans as if this is some revelation.
As bad as GI Joe was this movie was a bit better but its not saying much. Keep rating these crap movies in the top all time rankings and it will make IMDb ratings meaningless and amusing.
