Great action adventure, who wants realism in a movie!!!

Awesome movie! Why are you guys hating on this film. It had action galore, comedy, hot girls fighting, a fast camero, explosions and a freakin terminator. As for the comments on the fight scenes not being true to real life. Well I don't know about you but I go to the movies to watch films for there realism....NOT! I wanna see an indestructible bad-ass ripin through the bad guys. Come on this isn't reality TV, this is good old fashion action! John Cena played the role perfectly. This movie is a draw back to the old 80's action flicks like the A-team, Rambo, Camando and Delta Force. I look forward to more movies like this one. I recommend this movie to all those non-analytical types who are just looking for great action and entertainment.
