    Yeah. I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Great action scenes and I enjoyed the story. It wasn't perfect by no means but I would give it a solid 7-7.5 My complaint is that when Jolie removed her panties she was still wearing a goddamn skirt. I love ladies who wear thongs under skirts. Nice little black one it was too! She also looked hot as a blonde and dark.

    Very enjoyable movie 7 out of 10. Set up for a sequel.

    I thought this was even more ludicrous than The A-Team, and that's saying something. Pile of shít!

    Interesting. Out of 4 posts, yours is the only negative one.

    Can you give us more information why you didn't like it?

    Im thinking of taking the missus to this this evening.

    Now that was a brilliant movie. I didnt know a thing about it beforehand.

    There's another thread above on the same film, which also has reviews, but;
    Angelina Jolie is ****e. She can't act and she's very unconvincing in this role.
    The plot is ludicrous, the characters are ludicrous, and the stunts are ludicrous. Not even a hint of realism. I just found the entire thing ridiculous.

    One scene in particular involving a disguise was phenomenally stupid. I just thought "They're taking the píss right?"

    I'd stick with Bourne and Bond if you want a decent action/spy drama.

    .

    She can act alright. Member that time she got the Academy Award? She just cant act in roles where no acting is required. I didn't love the film, but I think anyone (especially after having seen the trailer) who expected anything other than what it was is frankly, ludicrous :D

    i think it is a fair film. some nice popcorn action flick! but dont expect too much from it, i mean, there are tonnes of plotholes in this film, maybe i should rephrase, it has tonnes of unconvincing elements in it,say, the CIA building, i was shocked when i see them swap their card and their ID of CIA agents showed on the receptionist screen, seriously??and needless to say about the crazy taking down any guards/swat/secret agent that stand in her way, i mean, she is some sort of 'office' cia agent, right??so she has been trainning really really REALLY hard since the day she sent off from russia??

    and oh spidy is so gonna sue her :pac: he needs to go through alot tough sh!t so he can jump and fly as spiderman. it wasnt fair for peter. it just wasnt fair.

    all in all, i think this is meant to be watched as another Mr and Mrs. Smith - ludicrous, over to the top, non-serious action flick. some tough scene for Jolie in this film are defo worth your movie ticket. ah now comon Angelina Jolie IN jamesbond, you are not sold??:D

    Poor film I thought. I think I'll stick with my 24 boxsets...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭crazygeryy


    its not great.jolie is alright in it but as far as a good action flick goes there are much better ones out there.

    Why not just use spoiler tags so those who haven't seen it can get a general idea on whether or not it's worth seeing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,530 ✭✭✭patch


    It was ok.
    The spidey reference is bang on, up until the last truck-jump it was ok, but the last one where she flips across and grabs on by a finger was daft.
    Jumping down the lift was very poorly done.
    The script wasnt half as clever as it thought it was either.
    In particular, the black dude not figuring out the whole setup once the russian president 'came back to life' was pathetic.
    Still, she was decent in it and I liked the general look and idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭MrSir


    I thought it was decent.

    The plot was ridiculous, too many of the action scenes were trying to hard to be Bourne and the CGI was poor at time and I felt the film would have benefited from Tom Cruise who was originally meant to star. I don't think Angelina Jolie is bad but I couldn't believe her in this. She would not have the strength to be such a "super-agent" and she doesn't bring any sense of humour to her role.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,930 ✭✭✭duckysauce


    thought it was ok not a touch on the bourne movies , entertaining no brainer,
    what was the point of her putting her "panties" on the camera when she blasted all the other ones !!, was she so into to get it on with the fire extinguisher??
    :confused:

    Be nice -
    the undies are visible in the opening scene in Siberia, and are very fetching!

    The stunt maker / choreographer / co=ordiantor deserves praise - I believe.

    3 years ago I said I was thinking of taking herself to see it. I didnt and I've not actually seen it yet, and its too late to switch film4+1. Must set a reminder to watch it...
