Basically: It was far better than I expected. Quite good, shot interestingly, nice action, intriguing story.


Story: Guy takes drug. It makes him awesome at everything. Take a guess if he wants more.


Actors: Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro


Win: The fight scenes are done very well, they are above average for todays average action flick. The story kept me on the edge of my seat. They used this cool camera trick zoom effect thing that, when they used it, really helped propel the movie. I laughed a good amount.


Fail: At points I wasn't completely sure why the main character was doing something, not everything was completely clear to me. The movie seemed to dwell on some aspects too long, and skip over others, leaving the viewer out of the loop.


Verdict: WIN


Confused: The ending...what, was, that?

Basically: While the action was cool at times, the story was so flat and cheesy that my mind was elsewhere. 


Story: A marine decides to retire, unfortunately, the day he hands in his retirement papers, aliens invade. He is called to duty. How inconvenient.


Actors: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Ne-Yo, Bridget Moynahan


Win: Not much. Some cool action scenes, also I think there was one intense moment. I think.


Fail: Majority of the movie. Even the aliens weren't that cool. Every moment had some super cheesy action conversation. It was disgustingly cliché. There were sections of the movie, that if showed on there own, viewers would think they were watching a spoof of an action movie.


Verdict: Fail!


Confused: Ne-Yo was in it...?
