prettyxcool wrote: Fast paced, action packed, utterly absurd and preposterous, but very enjoyable. Fab Gerald Butler, new Die Hard. Nothing complicated with story, good guys versus bad guys, extremely entertaining but a bit too much of an American propaganda, very one sided. And wow, loads of American bodies everywhere. 7/10
I agree. This film had a huge following at Odeon Greenwich. It was packed to the rafters today! Never seen the screening room so full there before.

This is one of my favourite movies so far this year. Despite being a bit too gory and despite the overabundance of bullets I thoroughly enjoyed this. A bit unbelievable in parts, but this was balanced out by it being a bit TOO believable in other parts. Well worth a watch. 8/10

I saw this again this morning and still found it thrilling. [spoiler]Although the massive body count was not helped by trained security personnel thinking they can stand up in the open with their pistols/hand guns and exchange fire with gunmen who were using numerous, massive rapid fire weapons :confused:[/spoiler]

I have a brain. And yet I loved this. Even managed to read the subtitles. May not be "cinema" but of the 5 films i've seen this week it was the most enjoyable. Sometimes that is all a person needs.

I saw this today and really enjoyed it! Much better than I was expecting, very fast-paced and a 9/10 from me!

Edinburgh was packed this morning.

I really enjoyed this huge Hollywood blockbuster rubbish. It took my mind off things and transported me away with the nonsense!

Yes, full of plot holes and not believable at all, but great action movie.

8/10
