This movie is rated WAAAY too high, it's a stinker. Walked out of theater.

Rating: 1/10 (4 September 2008)

My wife and I about 45 minutes in looked at each other with glazed over eyes and both realized we had lost any interest in wasting any more time watching this movie, got up and walked out.
Tired, stale and 10 year old humor just didn't work. The cinematography and costumes and sets were amazing, but then they had this lame dialog, lame jokes, and gross-out violence. (C'mon, a guy holding up his blown off arms is never going to be funny, especially when we have a crappy president sending young men to their deaths or injury for real).
Robert Downey Jr. at first was going to be awesome I thought, but then he never said a funny line. Never thought Jack Black should be in a movie, and nothing he does hear changes my mind.
And then we have Ben Stiller, who since he had children has turned into one himself. Perhaps talking to 3 years olds has damaged his brain, and so he can only write humor that 3-10 year olds would find funny.
Movies I have liked recently include Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Juno, Hellboy 2, and even Jumper and Wanted were at least entertaining.
I put this movie at the bottom of the barrel, as I have only walked out on a few movies in my life...it's a stinker. I simply cannot understand the rave reviews or the ratings on IMDb or RottenTomatoes.
