    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.

    If there had never been the invention of cgi then this film would never have been. It was total far fetched mindless computer graphics very little storyline a. d lots of sillyness

    I have wanted to see this film for ages finally saw it on film four last night, to be honest i thought it could have been better, The best part of the film is loads of action and not much else. The let down is the story, which could have been developed further, Sienna Millar was pretty good in this film and of course channing tatum, Two great actors wasted in this film were Dennis Quaid and Christopher Eccleston

    Expected a lot more from this movie, but apart from plenty of hand-to-hand combat, guns and missiles, the movie was rather average. Plotline was standard, acting below average overall and the eye candy available was not used to its full potential for either a male or female audience.

    Words cannot describe how bad this is. It is all the more infuriating when such a solid cast is given such a poor script and storyline,

    Hardly surprising that few of them seem to put much of an effort in, not that they have much to work with. As if to add insult to injury the producers then drag this nonsense out to nearly two hours.

    Take note reader before its too late - instead of renting this, spend 2 hours doing something worthwhile with your life. You will thank me later.
