Hollywood money-making machine.

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2006)

OK, seriously, who gives this movie a 10? What has happened to IMDb-users? I was dragged into this movie by my friend, but OK, I went in hoping for some good entertainment at least. While I got some of it, I was thoroughly disappointed. Not only with this, but with so many movies that have come out in the last few years. Since "The Matrix," Hollywood seems to think all you need is a bunch of special effects (not very good ones in this movie, mind you) with a cheap storyline combined into a movie that should have lasted 90, not 150 minutes, to sell to the masses. What scares me most, is that it actually works...
A horrifying ending, and you know that a "Part 3--The Daring Rescue of the Sparrow From the End of the World" (or something like that)is bound to come haunt us in the next 2-4 years. Geez, what has happened to movies that can be popular, mainstream, and incredibly well done at the same time?
