  • Suspend belief and enjoy it for what it is!

    Yes, scientifically it's absolute garbage; it has more plot holes than half a tonne of Swiss cheese, and above all IT'S FUN! It annoys the hell out of me when reviewers "analyse" films like this, picking holes in every minute detail. Of course it's a load of old toffee, whereas Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Monsters Inc, The Terminator are all perfectly plausible, 100% accurate depictions of reality. If you want real life, look out the window. Sure this film isn't in the same league as the aforementioned, but it doesn't make any pretensions about being something it isn't. Its two hours of brainless entertainment. If I want heavy duty, I'll watch Truffaut, Bunel, or some hard hitting drama. If I want to relax, kick back, and forget about a crappy day, this is exactly the sort of film to do that.

    Who says all films have to accurate? A group of reviewers with their heads so stuck in trying to scientifically unravel the film, while trying to pull their heads out of their own orifices (or is that orifi?).

    This film is great action, suitably silly, visually and sonically decent, and an excellent load of fun to watch with a load of mates, a decent pizza and a few beers. Sure I like serious drama; I like films that move me to tears, films that make me laugh, and sometimes films that just entertain the hell out of me. This one definitely falls into that category!
