Horrible Dialogue and Boring
PostedJanuary 21, 2012

I had high hopes for this movie since there are tons of stars in it. But the lead female is not an actor by training and it shows. She delivers her lines horribly and even her fight scenes, which are what the story is built around, are amateurish. The jabs and other moves come way too slowly to hold everyone's interest.
Our whole family (all adults) went and kept looking at each other throughout the film because we were wondering how we had chosen such a bad movie. Our 25-yr old son got up and left the theater for about 10 minutes. He said he couldn't stay awake because the movie was so slow.
The only positive thing about this film is that I'm glad Antonio Banderas is getting roles again. Although I expected much more Ewan McGregor, whose role was useless. There is no way his character could have been the head of a black-ops firm; he was much too much of a wimp!
My advice is to stay away from this picture. Wait until it comes out on Cable or in Red Box.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Stupid wasted of 2 hrs

Go see this movie only if you are a die-hard fan of the Twilight movies and books. Otherwise, the first 30 mins is a complete waste of time watching Bella and Edward on their honeymoon. After that, the plot does thicken but remember - it's not much of a plot to begin with. The acting is horrible (but that's not news) and the dialogue is seriously lacking any depth.
This movie is just a transition to the next one and, in my opinion, none of the movies have lived up to the hype or freshness of the first one.
If I were you, I'd wait until it came on Cable.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Fantastic Movie!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The action sequences are incredible and the soundtrack is awesome; it sets the perfect tone for all of the scenes. I loved the storyline - or should I say storylines. DiCaprio's pain and need to redeem himself were felt strongly, though I think he could have been just a bit more obsessed with the mission (I'm trying not to give away too much). And the whole idea of creating ideas in people's minds was not new, but it was wonderfully executed - with a twist. There was a point during the end when I thought the movie was just going to be a more hyped-up version of Shutter Island, but that thought quickly faded. Or maybe it was just subconsciously replaced with another thought - Ha! Inception is long (2.5 hrs) but it keeps moving and doesn't really have any lolls. That was great for me because I usually get bored toward the end of films. And though I figured out one of the subplots before it was revealed, I loved the ending. It keeps you wondering long after you leave the movie. This was the first time in quite a while that I didn't mind paying $14 to see a movie. It was well worth it and I'll probably see the movie again so I can pick out all the stuff I missed the first time around. Go see it - you won't be disappointed!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ok but not as good as 1st one

The new Transformers movie has tons of action and great graphics but the story line is very weak.
In addition, there is too much unnecessary cursing, especially for kids, and the parents in the movie are completely useless to the plot. Their lines aren't funny and that sub-plot just distracts from the rest of the film.
In my opinion, the 1st Transformers movie was much, much better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
