^ wasted talent in the most ridic movie of the year. Review to come.
UPDATE:
I cannot bother to rehash the plot because there is a lack of one. If you want a good overall plot summary, please check on this wiki entry.
All I want to do is rant.
Major plot holes and flaws.
- Chris Evans. This man cannot carry a movie. He’s like a poor man’s Paul Walker and THAT’S already a stretch.
- Introduction of too many characters that were neither developed or used. The sniffer lady. She was given directions on how to carry out the final plan but this was neither elaborate nor shown. Uhh. Ok?
- ZERO character development in their mains – Camilla Belle, CE, and Dakota Fanning.
- Chris Evans BUTCHERING Cantonese but using English too. It’s like dude. If you’re gonna have him speak English to the chinese people, why not do it consistently? Why say two things in chinese but finish in English? WTF.
- Two weak fight scenes. I’m ok with zero plot but come on, give us action?
- Trying to be deep and complex. ZERO continuity. What was the point of stealing the suitcase? To trade it for DF’s mom? Oh ok. You’re going to walk into the highly secure containment camp and just trade this silly serum for her mom. No dude. Sounds like a plan.
- Random and forced love scene between CB and CE. ZERO chemistry. She’s just not that into you.
- No reasoning for the “villain”. Killing the “villain” when it’s been explicitly stated multiple times that this was a GOVERNMENT operation. So what? You killed the Secretary of Defense. Ooh wee. :-/
- CE’s sudden ‘boost’ of power in the end fight scene. OK, we do know that this is the guy that can’t turn over a dice and can’t hold a gun steady right? I’m just saying.
- The ‘plan’. So to avoid the ‘watchers’ [psychics] who can draw the future based on ‘intention’, CE’s brilliant plan was to blindly do things so that there will be no intention therefore the watcher cannot draw their intention? Confused much? So the watcher can’t draw your intention to have no intention? ZOMG.
