Suspend all belief and its still a horrible movie

Rating: 1/10 (17 July 2008)

Even if all belief is suspended watching this movie, its still one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Its just so dumb, the storyline was ridiculous, the action was CGI laden nonsense in all honesty i was in tears of laughter at times through how awful the experience was. Thismovie is for guys who are obsessed with action computer games and thats about it, anyone who wants a good movie, save your money because this one ain't it. Did anyone else notice the ending was stolen from the Korn music video freak on a leash with the camera following the slow motion bullet going through people and donuts and cups etc? The story was also ripped from the murky depths of the Matrix sequels, with complicated nonsense and slow motion gunshot scenes. Seriously at one point i got up and left for the bathroom and 2 minutes later i come back and a million mice are running about with watches on( or bombs!)don't ask, i didn't even care anymore to find out how peanut butter enticed a million vermon. It was gratuitous gore, blood every where with no real reason, everyone being shot in the brain, and the action scenes were stupid- at one point McAvoy flips his car over this other car and in the air he points his gun at a random guy it was apparently his destiny to kill then before shooting him he declares "I'm sooooory." The direction in this movie was awful, it seemed like random action set pieces glued together with no flow, no coherence. It was a muddy mess. What was Angelina Jolie's purpose in this movie? Someone tell me, all she did was beat up James McAvoy a lot, ride about on the tops of speeding trains like she was walking on a pavement in downtown LA. James McAvoiy i went into the movie liking him, midway through i wanted him to get shot. Lets try and make sense of the storyline- all i can give you is a list of key words, because the story was so chaotic horribly written, and made such little sense that its beyond me to link it together. Binary; Fraternity; Assassins; destiny; Loom. Apparently Mcvoy goes from a nervous office worker to a monster assassin when a trip to the pharmacy has Jolie meet him, he avoids getting shot, he gets enrolled in an assassins fraternity. He gets beaten up in training, a montage few minutes later and he has a 6pack and ready to avenge his fathers death. Then we get involved in his training, and make sense of some sort of Loom of destiny, don't ask me how a sewing kit has anything to do with Assassins but even that isn't the most ridiculous thing i had to make sense of. We go from riding around in trains in Chicago to some castle somewhere, some monastery somewhere, some mountains somewhere i have no idea where, within a click of a finger. It was like Bewitched with a twitch of their nose and a click of their finger they are in completely different countries. There is some sort of incoherent twist where McAvoy ends up shooting his dad, and the frat wanted McAvoy killed from the start, in fact they wanted their own members killed from the start! which made this film completely pointless. There was some other matrix style binary codes which i won't even attempt to explain. Now onto the curvy bullets, how utterly stupid, not only were they curvy they could be made with a twist of your arm and a bullet can wipe out a whole circle of the frat then yourself at the end in a perfect circle which Angeline Jolie illustrates at the end... kinda like a boomerang. My only wish is she didn't include McAvoy in the circle and did it in the first minute of the movie, so i didn't have to endure over 2 hours of a gamers wet dream.
