I mean, the central aspect of the Fraternity -- that they get their assassination orders from fucking WEAVED CLOTH... that ONLY Morgan Freeman can read, natch -- was really retarded and made Angelina and Com and everyone else in the crew look like the biggest bunch of unquestioning idiots this side of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
I mean, even a 10-year old could see the "twist" coming, especially after those lame-ass cloth rules were established
I don't give a shit if that was lifted word-for-word from the comic, it's still lame
And the film's portrayal of "real world" women (yeah, "except for Angelina") was troublesome... you had the fat, shrill office boss, and the hot, shrill girlfriend... wonderful...
And yeah, I also know, "but it's a movie for dudes, turn your brain off and stop looking for Oscars," blah blah blah
Cool. But dudes should be also able to enjoy competently shot and edited action sequences, a couple of which -- the ones where shots were held longer than 2 seconds -- were enjoyable
And dudes should also be able to root for a hero who isn't a whiny bidge for most of the movie's running time... at least Anakin and Luke Skywalker had an excuse, they were kids... it was hard for me to like this guy from jump...
I mean, yeah, you work a shit job... who the fuck doesn't? And quite frankly, it was kinda easy to see why your (unbelievably hot) girlfriend would be banging your "best friend," because, in the words of Rick Ross and a few other rappers, you're a lame... if, in the beginning, we had seen just ONE instance of this dude standing up for himself, and failing, then it would have been easier for me to get on board and celebrate when this guy is presented the opportunity for a better life... but no, he was a lame from minute one of the film and didn't really transform into something else until the plot demanded it, which was about a hour and 20 minutes in...
The movie does get points for a couple of instances of Morgan Freeman profanity, but in the end, I have to say
NOPE!!! Dem 'chowskis better ________________________________________________________________________ Jam-a-con HUAH
