Great if you can turn your brain off

I very much wanted to just sit back and enjoy this movie, however it contained *WAY* too many plain and simple irrational events to just gloss over. I can usually let a couple of these things fly but when they crashed their car through the embassy gates instead of stopping like any rational person would (the bad guys had already crashed behind them) I just couldn't take it anymore. The US Marines at the gate shot up their little car with a .50 cal but somehow left it fully intact! RIDICULOUS!!! Another thing was that when he was trying to go back and save his wife he was somehow able to retrace his steps in such record time that the bad guys couldn't even walk out of their own building with his wife before he showed up. This movie contains many exciting parts and cool scenes but these ongoing inconsistencies with logic really detracted from my ability to fully enjoy the story.
