unbelievably bad

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2005)

The movie was very slick looking with great car chase scenes, tons of hot women and violent as but somehow it was the most boring movie I have ever seen. The movie was so bad I was actually embarrassed for the filmmakers. All style NO substance, the movie tried so hard it was painful, sort of like robin williams doing the accent of an English woman to enhance his viagra joke. Or more appropriately that kid in 8th grade who wears his sunglasses to class because it is 'his thing'. Robert Rogriguez who I am not a fan of and 'special guest director' whatever that means quentin Tarantino just wanted to make it cool, so they could be hip and everyone in it could be cool, oh terrific, intellect and everything else aside. Everyone spoke in low husky 'Im a tough guy' voice and the women were 'strong, tough and independent and we damn well weren't going to forget that, oh good for them, how cliché'. Women cant just be strong in movies, that have to be REALLY strong. And kids can't just be smart they have to be save the world smart. It was obvious, stupid and instead of doing something cool they just threw in a ridiculous 'oh this is soooo edgy' violence scene. Visually fantastic but what you were seeing was a waste of time and insulting.And why was someone castrated every 2 seconds, really? We get it people don't mess around in THIS town, yawn. With this said Bruce Willis and Brittney Murphy were fun to watch and the advertising campaign was inspired. Rent Aliens instead, or do anything else instead. -no BS movie reviewer...
