What could have been "Black Widow" the movie

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2010)

I am glad Angelina Jolie took the main role as Evelyn Salt, instead of Tom Cruise taking the main role thanks to his busy schedule. The script was written for Tom Cruise at first thought until he had to step down from the role. Although the movie as a whole is slightly above average, Angelina Jolie did a great job playing a badass heroine. And it's sort of refreshing to see a badass heroine in theaters. Not all of the plot holes gets patched up at the end and it's starts from somewhat of a believable movie and from than on it's gets sillier and sillier. But the main reason I go to the movies, is to be entertained and watching a badass heroine kick ass was quite fun to watch, although I think they should have went with the silly approach from the beginning instead of trying to make it believable. Especially the action scenes were just dumb at times, but as a whole the film is forgivable because the way the plot is connected with the action scenes is engaging enough. If your one of those viewers that nit pick everything that ain't realistic in these types of film than you probably won't enjoy it as much, but if you just take it for what it is. It might be a entertaining ride. I personally thought it was a pretty entertaining action flick. Some of the characters decisions doesn't make much sense and that includes few of the action sequences as well. When it comes to the plot of this movie. It could have easily been Marvel's "Black Widow" movie. Maybe it's because they couldn't get the rights for the character or maybe they just didn't have the budget to get the rights for Black Widow. Overall, it's a okay rental but it's also easily forgettable action movie.
7.3/10
