seen thousands of movies...

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2014)

started in the 50s when my mother would drag me along because she couldn't find anyone to babysit me. so i'd get taken to movies like 'bridge over the river kwai', 'ten commandments', 'ben hur'... i consider myself to be able to hold my own in a conversation about films(from not only America) over the last half century...earlier than that my knowledge is patchy(not to be confused with A-pache, cowboy). i'm telling all this to try and validate my knowledge of storytelling somewhat. i'm with the camp that said they were surprised at how much they enjoyed this movie. those that criticized it(i didn't see a whole lot...but, then again, i only looked at the first page. and there was at least one. i feel the need to negate those negative). sure...i REALly didn't like the ending... but i'm talking the last few minutes. otherwise it was, aside from the initial few minutes of getting us familiar with cruise's character, solidly entertaining. you critics out there...again, i invite you to do better. even just the writing part. obviously you think you can write a good review. so let's see what you REALly got. i already know what 'edge of tomorrow' holds...and despite my really not liking aspects of the film, i wouldn't hesitate recommending it for anyone that's attracted to an action sci fi(more emphasis on the action, but enough sci fi to add extra torque...).
