Unbelievable like most of today's action films

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2010)

OK so I decided to go see this movie base on all the criticism and defense Angelina Jolie has received about her fight scenes. This review will be 2 fold, 1st I am not defending AJ because her size in this film is far from her Tomb Raider days.
I am writing this review while watching the Turbo Jam infomercial Women. Even if AJ was the size of these girls the movie would still be unbelievable, acceptable but still unbelievable and here's why:
No hero in any action movie can be believable when his/her opponents are equally trained, unless of course the hero is Arnold who out weighs most of his opponents by at least 50 lbs. Lets take a look at the Bourne movies, In the Bourne Movies Jason Bourne has a tough time when fighting opponents who have went through the same training as he did. The thought that any action hero can easily defeat his/her equally trained opponents would tell us that the CIA, NSA, FBI, has a few well train A+ agents and the rest of the agents are C- or less. You watch these 2 on 1 fight scenes and realize the opponents are going down with almost one punch. This movie is entertaining but nothing when compared to the Bourne series. For me the ending was very predictable yet the movie was still worth the matinée price or at least worth watching as a DVD if your incline to wait.
Again if she was in Tomb Raider shape the movie would be acceptable. The thought of Angelina not breaking any bone during her falls in the scenes with the trucks is truly unbelievable.
I have to agree with the many who have critiqued AJ's sized in this film. Perhaps they should use the Turbo Jam girl in the reboot.
