Starts great then turns to a steaming pile after 20 minutes

Rating: 2/10 (29 July 2007)

It only gets a 2 because it starts of so well only to disappoint, With humour and good acting it is only after about 20/30 minutes in that the story starts to jump around for no reason and scenes that seem to have been put in only to fill space and subplots that lead nowhere! Yes there is a lot of action but a lot of it is un-necessary as if it was just put in to fill space and this is not limited to action scenes and this takes away from the movie.
Like why take the "cube" from a area of low population to a big city with lots of people on the pretext that it would be easier to hide? Who in any countries military force would make such a feeble minded decision to do that (according to Michael Bay an American government director of defence and a "secret" organization)! The only reason to do it is so that there would be lots of people and buildings to kill and destroy hence a bigger action scene.
It started to feel as if there was more than one director and each one has a different story line to follow only for them to be joined up after the whole movie had been shot.
For the last 45 minutes of the film I just wanted to leave the cinema, it lost the plot as if Michael Bay had decided to change the great storyline to something with more plot holes than a mini golf course (and yes the movie is corny).
I love a good action movie but lately they all seem to be dumbed down.
Myself I would recommend waiting till you can rent it, as it is not worth the visit to the movies!
