It's another summer blockbuster that brain damaged boys will whoop to and then forget they saw it 10mins later.
Why do these films get made?
I watched the trailer and found myself looking out the window in sheer non-interest as it played.
WATCH! the explosions and FEEL! the rumblerama explosion digital stereo whilst you LOVE! the bikini-clad woman as she FLIES! at great speed whilst MISSILES! narrowly miss her as HUGE EXPLOSIONS! plume into the sky to cover STEALTH PLANES! attacking with MORE EXPLOSIONS! etc etc
I wonder if it will end in a tense attack on some military installation, and they've had to STEAL! the STEALTH! plane because they've been suspended due to their RENEGADE! ways and NONCONFORMIST! attitudes as their commander gruffly tells them they're grounded yet secretely is happy when they ATTACK! in the finale, and having landed SAFELY! the woman and white guy (we can't have inter-race relationships in our summer films, we can watch brown people getting EXPLODED! but they can't kiss white women) run to each other and EMBRACE!
Ass movie.
Let me check my DVDs to see if I have any...*goes to look*
Men in Black, that seems to be the only major summer-type film that exists simply to entertain without attempting anything deeper.
**edit** And Charlie's Angels. But that has Evil Sam Rockwell smoking evily and Bill Murray being funny.
Yesterday I bought Soldier Blue, Pump Up The Volume & Heathers. The bloke in front me had Deuce Bigalow:American Gigalo, The Transporter & something else with explosions and a train on the front.
I don't get it. Without any sarcasm from me, what is the appeal in these exploder type movies?
"Yeah y'know, I like well written plots with characters that I invest time in and care about. And I like to watch carefully made, intricate movies that clearly mean something to the people involved and will provide me with some sort of stimulation and, perhaps, provoke a discussion from what we've seen...but sometimes I like to watch fire"
I haven't seen the latter, but still, those credentials are enough to put anyone off this...
