Over-promoted

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2014)

I had to watch this film because of a film arts class that I am in. I've heard so much about this movie, and I expected it to be fantastic. People said things like "SETS A NEW BAR!", "WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!" and even "BEST FILM EVER MADE!". I was genuinely disappointed after watching this film. It was just a bunch of mindless explosions and chase scenes. However,I understand that a great deal of people do in fact enjoy watching this kind of film and that I should have expected this kind let down from an action film. Although,on the same note, I expected it to have more substance. I probably would have appreciated it more if it had maybe, oh, I don't know, a real plot or story of some kind. The insignificant story line it did have was so hard to follow anyways because of all the explosions,crashing and fighting. It could have been so much better.
