Waste of time (unless you're looking for a headache)

Rating: 1/10 (13 October 2007)

OK, maybe I was having a bad day, but my opinion on this movie couldn't be more different from the majority of posters here. I've never written a review here before, but in the hope of saving someone the 2 hours I wasted watching this, I thought it worthwhile writing my first.
To me, this was run-of-the-mill action stuff where the makers couldn't be bothered actually making the story exciting, so they just shook the camera around a lot to make watching it a difficult experience (maybe exciting for some, but for me just tiring and headache inducing). There were too many plot holes, many of them huge, to make suspension of disbelief possible and the over-the-top stunts and "Superman" quality of the protagonist were just boringly predictably.
This move really came across as a James Bond try hard - the big difference being that that franchise is over-the-top in a humorous and tongue-in-cheek way - not taking itself far too seriously like this movie. Oh for the days when Hollywood grows up and resumes making intelligent, thought-provoking fare (I'm not holding my breath here)
