Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

extraordinarily dumb

[1/10 · 14 June 2005]

My God, is everyone who reviews this movie here brain damaged? This movie's plot crosses the believability line halfway through the feature and never returns. I like action but I hate action that is this blatantly dumb. I thought movies like "Sahara" rewrote the dumb action book but this trash just adds too the new low.

It's a good thing those agencies sent hit men by the dozens who couldn't shoot straight. This whole plot was extraordinarily dumb.

Batman Begins (2005)

Batman Begins should change its name to Batman Disappoints.

I honestly don't remember the last time I was more disappointed in a movie. There is absolutely no action worth mentioning in this entire film. The fight scenes are choppy and VERY VERY poorly done. I feared this might be the case with a rookie action director in charge but I never thought a Batman film would fall this low in terms of fight content. The set up is long and often tedious and the dialogue is surprisingly "New Star Wars" bad. Even the bast costume itself looks off. They were promising us more flexibility and believability with this design but it still looked awkward. Keaton's original still looks better. Bale was remarkably average as Bruce Wayne and his "Batman voice" is near laughable.

It pains me to say but Batman Begins should change its name to Batman Disappoints.
