more glitz than sanity

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2006)

Who does this appeal to? Quite a large audience I guess video game enthusiasts, people who believe that loud music and fireworks serve the good cause of giving the intellect a rest while feeding into their emotional lives. But volume and flashes do not a good movie make particularly in the absence of a plot. What passes for a relationship here is just an excuse for Tom to "macho up" and save the damsel in distress. With more glitz than sanity, nothing gives the audience the nourishment that comes from a credible story, or at least a story that's believable on its own terms. Don't waste your money here, just wait for the DVD.
This movie falls into the abyss of most sequels - excellent advertising for an at-best mediocre product.
