Not as bad as I dreaded

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2004)

Well, got bored, saw the movie. I was expecting dreck. It isn't...oh, it's not likely to be nominated for Best Picture, either mind you, but it wasn't bad.
Will Smith was pretty good, and so was Doc Calvin. Some folks had complained that "in the books she was supposed to be plain and she was sexy & hot in the movie"- but she appeared severe and not all that "hot". Sure, there was much wearing of leather- but it seems most people wear deadcowskins a few decades from now.
Good action sequences, and "Sonny' was well done. If you are a bit bored, and can see it at a matinée- I think you'll be pleasantly entertained for a while.
