Good LORD, do people have no sense of humor anymore or what?? This movie was not intended to be CINEMA, OK? It was supposed to deliver mindless summer diversion via good old fashioned guns, bombs, car chases and hot people. Hey--it DID.
I have slogged through pages upon pages of comments here talking about having wasted money to sit through it, how it is terrible, etc. I simply don't understand what you guys are talking about. What, exactly, did you expect from this movie? North By Northwest?? Citizen Kane? The previews and trailers had hot people blowing crap up and some quasi-witty banter. Hey--the movie had hot people blowing crap up and some quasi-witty banter. How you would enter the theater expecting this movie to be some kind of transformative experience is beyond me.
I hate action movies and this one entertained me just fine. It was clever enough not to be boring, attractively designed enough not to be dull visually, and fast paced enough to keep me engaged for the most part. Is Pitt Sean Connery? No. Is Jolie Audrey Hepburn? No. Does it matter? No. If you didn't find anything to like this movie, there is something wrong with you, plain and simple.
