A total let down (In negative comments..)

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2010)

I first reviewed this movie last week and was taken by all the negative comments - Jerky Camera angles, bad edited fight scenes, that the movie was too confusing and unrealistic.. I'm more confused over these comments than I am the movie. the movie was NOT confusing, nor did it have these jerky camera angles. If it did, I definitely did not notice them.. However, the fight scenes were edited too much to make it look like there was an actual fight, but it didn't bother me one bit. these jerky camera angles? Well, I can't answer that b/c I didn't even notice it but apparently others did.. the movie had a lot of twists and turns but was not confusing and kept you guessing the whole time.. now finally, these people who say the movie is unrealistic??! that is the most mind numbing comment of them all - b/c what movie is realistic?? If this movie was realistic, how boring do you think it would be? Movies are made like this so you could use your imagination and enjoy a good movie experience. Obviously everyone compares this movie to the Bourne franchise which is probably just as unrealistic! but this movie, without a doubt kicked major butt and I was so blown away by Angelina Jolie's performance as an action character! there is in my opinion no other female who could've pulled this off. I was wondering how this movie would be before i saw it about having a female as the lead role and blew all my expectations out of the water, especially as myself being a man. We are used to always seeing men play these roles - well this changed everything! she was amazing in this role and i look forward to her making another one! I also probably like it a lot b/c Leiv Schrieber is perhaps my favorite actor or at least one of them.. I admit i am very easy to please in a movie but no movie since Dark Knight kept me talking about it for so long after seeing it. Usually i'll see a movie, talk about it that night or occasionally here and there.. I saw Salt last week and I've thought about this movie everyday since and keep checking IMDb ratings hoping it will improve. A current 6.8 is not bad but this movie deserves way higher! it had everything you want in an action movie - A good plot, excellent writing, excellent acting and great action scenes! this movie delivered and then some! Usually twists and turns are annoying and hard to follow but this movie made it enjoyable b/c you just didn't know what to expect. Kudos to Angelina for probably changing the face of film and opening the door to more female leads in action film. Tom Cruise was originally selected for this role but after seeing her do it, this movie was made for her!! I can't say enough good things about it.. But as I was saying, what surprises me most are these negative reviews! I mean, am I that blind to all these people saying such things as it being so confusing, jerky camera angles, etc?? I just didn't have the same experience and I'm very glad I didn't..
