No doubt this was a solid action movie. However, the problem comes in with the inconsistencies, massive coincidences and assumptions left to be filled in. If you simply enjoy a cliche "kick-butt movie then you'll be satisfied (until the ending where she mysteriously goes from the superhero ghost assassin she was all movie to "chick with a few taebo lessons"). Unfortunately if you're a thinker you'll quick note the many non-sensical and/or extraordinary coincidences (from the parkour kid to the... other stuff- don't wanna ruin it), stupid actions, and random assumptions that MUST happen in order for the movie to work. I'd call this a "perfect 3 star" movie being all the energy was clearly put into the action and not much into the sensibility... AT ALL. Overall I'd say women will love this new Jackie Brown.
First know that I'm definitely recommending you go see the movie in 3D as its certainly made for that but I can't ignore the fact that production seemed so sold on the fact that ANY Green Lantern movie would be a sure hit that they CLEARLY put ZERO EFFORT into the villains. The villains are soooo super cheesy they were just stupidly funny and lame. The story line would of been just as equally uninteresting with an evil cat and his kitten entourage as the super-villian empire. Overall it was a fun movie and will likely do well for a couple weeks but definitely ain't no Spiderman or 300.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I don't have to time, nor desire, to write something long and drawn out so long story made short if you liked ANY of the Fast & Furious movies you WILL LOVE THIS!! Stop thinking, get off your ass and go see it!

Of course regardless of Cruise's personal troubles and issues he is still the Kobe Bryant of films (dealing with much personally but a true professional in that NONE of his perceived personal issues has any affect on his professional performance). The movie was quite funny and keep both me and my wife's full attention. I do think it did went on about 15 mins too long but that's easily forgiven. A GREAT date movie.
Ok, so I'm Ezra "Buddha" Masters (yes I am). Admittedly I was NOT interested in seeing this movie and was looking yesterday to take my wife out to see "Knight and Day" (it looks hilarious). However the user reviews (the only reviews I care to read), although only a few at the time, were not so gracious in rating that movie.
Anyhow, noticed the high user reviews for the A-team so we went to check it out. Long story short this movie delivers in a BIG way! Much more fantastical than I thought it would be and Rampage did a solid job ( I do believe that Kimbo Slice would of been a better match tho). All-in-all very exciting and a good ridiculous action movie. Don't expect anywhere near "300" but if you like the "Mission Impossible" movies you'll love this. Reminds me of why I loved the 80's. Check it out. Definitely a good watch on a slow day.
