The stupid explosion-based action of yore just cant compete with the stupid CGI retina-orgy action of now.

Rating: 3/10 (17 July 2014)

Part of the Criterion Collection apparently, must be because it's in the category of "so bad it's good" because it is exceptionally bad/good
Not all movies need to be brainy and existential, but do they really need to be so stupid they are baffling? I guess I have hard time shutting off, a hard time trying not to take it seriously. Was it made to be serious? If so then MB must think we're all f-ing retarded. Die Hard was good, this is like, campy, with all the brain eating chemicals, and Nick Cage as perhaps his very very worst, very setty sets, lots of dry-ice smoke.
If you want stupid action and explosions and eye candy, why not go full bore and watch transformers? Going back is just a study in the sh#!tier.
