It's really not that good.
The title says it all but a more detailed explanation of the film. Terrorists attacking the world (seen it before and must better in other films). Over the top stunts that are unrealistic. People can't do what they do and live. The explosives are too big. Just way over the top. Actors/actresses are too good looking. Peolpe in the army/special forces/sas, etc are hard gritty and battle worn not perfect hair and make up. The whole film is just too unrealistic and should really be aimed at kids but it'll get a 12 rating. Same really as the little ones might have enjoyed it if it was a cartoon. Oh, hold on it is a cartoon.
After some criticism from other reviewers (?) it seems 68 people out of 70 thought I was right. Can't be wrong then can I.

It's not meant to be High Brow
Listen, for a start, there is very little that can be accurately gleaned about a film from the trailer; with that proviso, here goes.
It's clear this film is an all action, totally unrealistic, explosion, CGI, stunt fest. It's meant to be. I love thought provoking deep, well acted films, but I say there is also room for entertaining bulls**t (EB) and this looks to be EB at it's best. Bring it on. -

Miller terrified of G.I. guns
- 29 May 2009

The actress was terrified of handling firearms for her role as femme fatale The Baroness in the forthcoming movie, prompting producers to pull her aside to ensure she was comfortable with the work. She says, "It was scary. I got taken away from the group! They said, 'Sienna, you're a villain in this film and you look like you're Read more
