contrived like crazy

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2012)

the good: brings back warm nostalgia as you see the stars interact and crack jokes with each other, also the shaky camera effect was barely present.
the bad: first of all, we are expecting an action packed movie but ironically this is where the movie fails miserably, forget about the acting or even the story, the action is where its at, but the detail and sensibility in the action scenes were poorly executed, not only that the effects and CGI were also noticeably BAD.
lazily edited action scenes mostly consists of point a: someone shooting and then cuts to point b: some random guy being shot at. it does this tediously and disjointed that ((apart from the fighting scenes)) it doesn't even feel like the action is happening in the same area and because of this, bad guys doing stupid things like standing out in the open. the fight scenes were pretty generic and not a single cuss was spoken.
