A big video game

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2009)

The subject says it all. This movie might as well be a video game. It's 2 minutes of drama, followed by 10 minutes of ludicrous action...then repeat for 2hrs. In fact, during the film my friend nodded in agreement when I remarked that it almost seemed like someone had cut all of the drama and dialogue from the film so the viewer could watch a montage of over the top action scenes.
It's not the fault of any actor/actress. The performances are good...but there's not much in the way of a story to get into.
McG has made a film that looks good....but that's it. The movie is certainly watchable, but it's easily forgettable. It's not in the same league as T1 or T2. Given the budget and cast, this movie should've been much more. I can't imagine why anyone would rate this more than a 6-6.5.
