This movie has a lot of problems. I couldn't follow what was going on
with the action half the time, Carly is a complete non-character, and
Sam's an unlikeable jackass. The plot has more holes than a slice of
Swiss cheese.
You also have the
awesome (not) hour-long action sequence at the end again. I thought they
would've learned their lesson from the last one: no one wants to sit
through that much. Break it up into a couple of battles or something.
Fortunately,
none of those things really matter to a movie like this, and I loved it
anyway. We have Josh Duhamel, the name "Witwicky," Sam's parents, John
Malkovich, Wash, Patrick Dempsey doing something unexpected, and several
genuinely funny scenes.
13 Assassins
Nothing unexpected here, but it was engaging most of the time, and you can definitely tell it's Miike.
Super
This movie was weird. Liv Tyler was super pretty. Ellen's character
was completely unlikable, and Rainn's wasn't terribly far behind. It
was interesting to see it play out, though.
Fast Five
I have a lot of love for this series, and I wanted to like this more
than I did. It felt like they only had about half a movie going here. I
enjoyed everybody getting together, and Rio was a fun place to see, but
about 70% of it was flat.
