It was not entirely what I expected and not as funny as I thought it would be.

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2005)

I went to see this movie because I often enjoy the subtlety of Brad Pitt's comedic talent; and I had heard so much hype about the on-screen chemistry between Pitt and his co-star, Angelina Jolie, that I figured the film's humorous moments would be outstanding. Well, they weren't. They were only so-so.
Another reason I was disappointed with this movie was because the rating of PG-13 led me to expect one thing but then delivered another.
With a PG-13 rating, I expected that there would be no nudity. Also, knowing that the two main characters of this action film were world-class assassins clearly clued me into the fact that there would be violence. I was right. There was no nudity and there was violence. So I did get what I expected there (and I did find the explosions, chase scenes, etc. to be spectacular and entertaining).
However, what I didn't expect and what I found to be very disturbing was the implication that an intensely violent prelude to sex was entertaining to watch. I found myself wincing at the sight of Jolie forcefully punching Pitt in the face and then both of them giggling at the turn-on factor of this act, which was followed by a passionate kiss. I would MUCH rather have seen nudity than a link between intense violence and sex.
When I think of PG-13 rated movies, I do not think of a link between violence and sex. In my opinion, that is an adult subject and, thus, would indicate an R rating because I don't think violent sex is something to which teenagers should be exposed. (Personally, I would prefer to expose them to nudity.) Had this movie been rated R, I might have expected something a little different. Perhaps then I might have given it a slightly higher value on the 1-to-10 scale, but probably not much higher because the humor just wasn't there for me. (Although, I must admit that Vince Vaughn's neurotic character was hilarious. They should have put him in more scenes.)
So, to summarize my opinions, the movie was not entirely what I expected, and the humorous moments were not as strong as they could have been.
