Wow, well what can I say that I LIKED about this film? I would have to say that really the only 3 things positive this film has going for it are the Score (Hans Zimmer) the special effects, and the talent. Other than that the film is a ridiculous escapade of action sequences and explosions, which I guess hey, moviegoers want these days.
However I am not one of those moviegoers. That's how I felt; I actually wanted to leave the theater at a few points because the fight sequences simply dragged on for way too long without adding anything as far as plot development goes. Seriously, it was like the director and writer were like "Ok, so let's have the plot advance here for 5 minutes and then we'll cut to a 30 minute action scene." It was painful to watch after a while.
I went into the theater expecting a moving plot with great execution, however I was greatly disappointed. I don't usually agree with harsh critics, however whatever bad reviews this movie got it deserved. Maybe Hollywood should stop trying to please the mindless moviegoer with endless action and focus more on the actual content of their summer blockbusters. But hey, this is just my opinion, so take it how it is, go see the movie and make your own conclusions but be warned, bring earplugs.
