Well..some people just don't get it.

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2010)

Thing is, i've read a lot of the comments/reviews about this movie, and to say the least, i'm surprised. People are going on and on, ranting about how this movie should have been awesome, because of the cast, but it sucked because it didn't have a good enough story, etc, etc. What did you all expect? Stanley Kubrick or Alfred Hitchcock - type plots that challenge your brain and make you feel smart after/for watching the movie? A bit ironic to say so, but grow up folks. This movie did not set out to blow everybody's mind through interesting character development or such things. It just put together all our favorite action-movie stars, or most of them at least, and showed us that they can all kick some bad-guy arse in the same flick. Sure it isn't all that complicated, rather simple actually, but that IS the whole point. Personally i think that people have the tendency to bash this title simply because they can't let aside their self-absorption and enjoy this hour and a half long ACTION movie, or have we all forgotten what that means?
What's happened to the world, have we all become so smart and knowledge-thirsty that we can't be pleased with old-school beat-em-ups anymore? And really good ones to add to that. That's just ignorant.
So yeah, this movie set out to be awesome, and it did exactly that.
