Agree, agree, agree - so disappointing.
Looking at the poster again today with it's positive quotes, it does make you wonder if and when money changes hands to make reviewers blatantly lie about films they review! This could be no one's "action film of the year" or could it ever be "the best since Bourne". A bit of cynicism for a Wednesday morning....

its not cynicism, you speak the truth. its movies, that world is riddled with liars and McGuyvers.

Worth sticking it out for free showings though - for every Haywire theres a Hanna. I wont even mention Salt. :rolleyes:
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

I wasted an hour and a half watching it, so I'm not prepared to waste anymore time discussing it apart to say that was sh*t.

Jeez two unenjoyable films in a row.

My mother has a question, if everyone wanted Mallory dead, why didn't Michael Douglas kill her when they were in the hangar?

Wow, I'm glad I missed this, given the comments. The positive comments on posters are often out of context, aren't they? So possibly "totally unmissable" started life off as "I thought this would be totally unmissable, but it was a steaming pile of....." (the latter half of that sentence is inspired by your comments above!) Haha!

Can't recall a film where the comments are so unanimous... and so bad! Glad I couldn't get tickets in the end.
