A light comical watch... was it really?

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2015)

Finally took my gf to the theater after hearing positive reviews about it for weeks, and was somewhat disappointed.
To start with the movie plot didn't quite connect, at some point it moved too fast and at some point it jumped to conclusions leaving out a lot of details and loose ends untied. Wait, I thought this was supposed to be a comedic action movie? I probably loosed a chuckle in the first 30 minutes of the movie and that was it. Action wise, granted, there were a few nicely made scenes with new perspectives and camera angles, but they did not save me from talking in my head "is the movie almost over so I can go to the bathroom?". In addition, you may heard from some that there was a lot of bloody gore, but I didn't like it even though I sit through the two 300 movies perfectly fine, bottom word, unnecessary. Lastly, I don't think I can take another movie with Samuel Jackson in it 24/7.
I usually regard any movie with an 8 or above to be a must-watch, 7.5 for some categories, but there were some really disappointing movies out there lately (The Imitation Game, for example). These movies aren't total disasters, but they weren't cream of the crop either. Overall I think this movie deserves a 6 rather than an 8.
