Reminded me of Star Wars
PostedJanuary 25, 2012

from Kansas City, MO
I wanted to love this movie, but I honestly did not. I felt the same way about it as I did about Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2- great action, bad dialogue. Every time I was watching a dogfight, I was in awe. But I found myself offering 'courtesy laughs' during scenes that were intended for humor, wondering if anyone in the audience was affected by scenes that were meant to inspire emotion, and I spent the majority of time questioning whether the staleness of the film and rigidity of the characters was the fault of the actors or writers (then I remembered Star Wars and blamed the writers).
I have to say this is the first film I've ever seen dealing with the issue of race where hearing the dreaded 'N' word seemed less inciteful, and more necessary to fit the theme.
Having said all that, the action really is fantastic. I left the theatre wanting more of it, and I did feel like I picked a good movie to watch over the weekend.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
