No worries mate.
I'm not slamming you or anyone else for seeing it, I'm just slamming the movie itself for reasons given below.

I wouldn't expect anyone to like some of the movies I do, I just love my films and vent when I see something that offends me.

But a nice debate anyhoo.
Cheers for this
*S*

Con Air, watchable, but Cage is wasted in this kind of movie.

Give me Leaving Las Vegas or Red Rock West any day.

I haven't sen The General's Daughter, but I enjoyed Con Air.

Con Air
The General's Daughter
Tomb Raider

And next a remake of The Prisoner.

OK, I'll cool down. I hate it when I see people defacing something when they haven't seen it, but its obvious you know all you need to know about it.

And yes, it is vacous.

I'm ignorant of Simon West, what else has he directed?

I have found Simon West to be a substandard director with no sense of framing action or editing in any sense of style or continuity.
That's just me being movie-geek, but I can't stand that man's efforts so far.

And it is just the sort of movie that is being churned out with alarming regularity.
Barest of plots, alarmingly bad script (I've read it, so I'm not guessing here), a central character that has no backstory given, an excuse to cram explosions and special effects in 2hrs.

I dont know why it bothers you so much that I detest this movie.
I'm not attacking you personally at all, you are just as entitled to your opinion as I am mine.
I havent blasted you for liking this movie, I have merely said that this movie, in my opinion, is another example of Hollywood making movies by the numbers - and a gullible public turning up just because it's a name they know.

I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong, please stop trying to tell me that I am wrong.
You enjoyed it, I didn't.
And I have spent an age explaining, with valid reasons, why I will not watch this movie, and I warned people to the shortcomings of Tomb Raider over a month ago.

It's just my opinion, relax and stop telling me I'm wrong.
Because I'm not.
We just differ and that's cool.

"Vacuous" means empty of intelligence.

GOD! NO IT ISN'T!! GO AND WATCH IT!! And stop being so bloody stubborn! It isn't badly directed, it doesn't suck, it is formulaic but many films are - Snatch for example - a cool film but a blatent copy, style-wise, of Lock Stock, and I don't know what vacous means so I can't argue that. Granted it may prevent you from seeing smaller films but the same is true of every big release, and as for pre-pubescent schoolboys you could make the same arguement about any film with a sexy female lead or part.
