The characters do epically dumb things and the film just comes across as stupid. Nothing compared to the first film. |
I saw that at the cinema this week and couldn't believe how poor it was, rather than building on the first film, it was just a predictable, dull and by-the-numbers action movie, with nothing in the way of suspense or excitement. I noticed one scene where it had been adapted/modified for a lower certificate, as Bryan Mills (I think) throws someone so their neck breaks over a pipe and there is absolutely no sound, whether should be a crunch/crack.
Anyway, with a director called Olivier Megatron, what should you realistically expect?!

I currently have the poster on my wall and have been meaning to watch this again for weeks, so I'll have to get the disc and put it somewhere so, when I'm looking for something to watch, it catches my eye and goes in my PS3. Actually, maybe I'll remember and watch it this evening.
