With all the product placement, why did I even spend money?

Rating: 4/10 (18 June 2007)

I didn't really have high expectations going into this, but I didn't think the original was all that terrible, and I had some friends with me.
I'm seeing a lot of parallels with the Matrix 2 and 3 in that the totally blatant and in-your-face product placement is getting almost comical. It's severely detracting from what little plot the film has already. I mean, parading Torch's "capitalist" uniform for 10 scenes? Massive Dodge logos on the jet? I'm sure that if I pause the film, I'll see Dodge hood ornaments and Dodge-like grills on the front of the jet. I realize this film's demo is a bit of the younger crowd, but this is all a little too blatant.
