My last John Woo movie

Rating: 2/10 (28 January 2001)

I have been dumb enough to go to John Woo movies before -- Broken Arrow. But after this I will not be even tempted to try another.
Many people complained about the first MI, but I liked it. Because of that, I tried again. One of the things that I have grown to hate over the years is fights that go on forever with each combatant getting in many blows that would be lethal in real life, but only slow down the participants in the movie -- often with silly slow motion that breaks out. This formula worked very well for Wile E. and Road Runner as well as Adam West and Burt Ward, but just don't make it in a film supposedly aimed at persons with double digit ages. This movie is so full of these scenes that seem to go on for 15 minutes that there is little time left for a real movie.
The media often report on how much stars are paid to do a movie. I would love to know how much is spent on the script before I go to a movie. This movie could not have budgeted more than $100.
