Now THIS is what a Block Buster should be.

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2014)

I give this film ten out of 10 red dwarfs because it is the epitome of what a Block Buster movie should be.
Action...check. Drama...check. Sexy people (who are totally not really over-sexified for fack sake)...check. ACTING....CHECK.
& enough intelligent material to hold MY attention. You see, folks. Most Block Busters are brainless bash festivals with over-sexified loons looking pumped up with testosterone, estrogen, steroids, jizum... Mindless entertainment for the working class ass who typically works the "I Hate My Life" kinda job and just needs a little escapism when the day star turns in (or comes up, 3rd shifters.)
And I'm not very enthralled about the direction in which these Block Busters are appearing to head. CGI seems to be a valid substitute for acting. WRONG! CGI doesn't kill a movie. There are plenty of good movies that use it. If you think that I'm bashing CGI you can go fack a tack. I'm saying that you can't have a film that scraps acting just so you can have some puffed up sex bots That strutting and fretting their hour upon the stage, and then are heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, to paraphrase good old Shakespeare. He, too, pandered to the "lower class," but the difference between Shakespeare and most of these Block Busters is CLASS. Shaky had class. Most people in Hollywood don't.
So fellow movie lovers... let us attempt to refrain from BUYING these dullard films full of action sans-acting. Purchase a ticket for a movie like X-Men... Go see X-men... and if you still want to see your brainless Block Buster, hop on over after you've seen X-men... WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. Because we need to stop this dreadful trend. Brilliant films seem to be far and wide these days... Unless they're independent and/or foreign and either can't afford or just plain don't get advertised.
Sorry that this wasn't exactly a review, but it's my opinion regarding the greatness of this film as compared to the slop that we willingly watch which turns our brains into just that.... slop.
Thank you for reading.
