Fight scenes that make you puke.

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2008)

The whole movie was a total let down. I enjoyed the first movie as it was interesting, but this was just a waste of time and money.
The whole movie screamed at me "WE HAVE A HIGH BUDGET!!"... I don't care. They didn't manage to achieve anything. The whole movie seemed like it was dark and everything, but there was nothing particularly moving about the whole thing. All they did was destroy few things and run around some cities with a few hundred extras.
When I watched the fight scenes, my jaw dropped. Most certainly not in a good way, either. It was some extremely shaky filming and fast cuts. The majority of the time I had no idea what was going on. The fighting itself wasn't too bad, it was like the Vernita Green fight from Kill Bill, but everything was far too shaky and twisted. There were a few shots that I swear were actually upside down. While watching the fight again on YouTube I realized that I wasn't just being picky when I first watched it, it was THAT terrible. It would be the perfect fight to watch if you adore motion sickness.
The whole timing of the guy running around between the extras was pathetic. It was the same crap you see in any spy movie, but it was executed terribly. There was no spark, if you've seen anything like it before you'll know how bad it was done.
My parents were surprised to see my reaction to the movie as I loved action and thriller movies. I went with a group of 40-year-olds, most of them enjoyed it... I was close to shooting myself.
The entire movie was directed, filmed and edited pretty bad.
I can see how some people like it -- they simply never see any dramatic, thriller or action movies.
Watching the trailer on YouTube I barely recognize the movie, which just proves how unmemorable and plainly different the trailer is to the movie. I honestly couldn't look past the shaky camera work - it was just distracting. I might watch this movie again just to make sure that it IS that bad, and I'm not just making diamonds out of coal.
