Yet another typical action movie

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2007)

I guess the best line to describe my feeling after watching this movie is, "pretty much what I expected". I expected a typical action movie, a sequel (which means there won't be anything new or original in it) and lots of action and effects with a little acting. I also expected some laughs, not because the movie will be funny, but because i was sure there will be some unrealistic and pretty dumb stuff (like in pretty much all the Hollywood action films). Just a couple examples (spoiler): The hero goes through explosions, gunfire, fights and car accidents and gets only few bruises by the end of the movie (how typical), while destroying, at least, a couple hundreds million dollars worth of property. The second thing that i found pretty funny is that some of the most important facilities of the US, that the terrorists took over, were guarded only by 3-4 guards each, and these guards had a mall guard training. In conclusion if u watched 2 or 3 action movies u know exactly what to expect during this one, from the beginning to the end.
Finally, you might ask why did i give the movie the grade of 6.
Two reasons: 1. I actually enjoyed watching it. 2. I didn't expect much, so i wasn't disappointed.
I definitely won't see it again but i recommend to watch it once, it'll take your mind off your life for an hour and a half :)
