I absolutely loved this movie! A 007 storyline - throw in some comedy, heartbreak and a threat to the world's population and you have a plot. The actors were well cast - you gotta love a badass Colin Firth and Samuel Jackson with a Mike Tysonesque lisp. Highly recommended!-
Fun. A little mixed up. Didn't like the male protagonist. Loved the female one. The idea of the killing by a double leg amputee and the acrobatics with these razor sharp killing legs was really well thought. Enjoyed the fun
It's long and kinda boring I almost fell alseep
Colin Firth is great. Everyone else- well, let's just say they phoned it in. Strange movie. On one hand, it's a good premise, and could have been quite decent indeed. On the other, major sections are directly lifted from The Matrix, every James Bond film, Cell by Stephen King, Scanners, and the original Star Wars. You can almost see the producers in an office saying "let's steal this scene and these ideas from Lucas- white armies of bad guys shooting in a maze while the hero tries to escape back to the getaway ship" and etc etc. There's even a beautiful princess locked up for him to save (of course Leia never offered anal congress as a reward. Not that we know of...). The sheer numerical
First half good, last half stupid.
I saw this movie yesterday and found it quite good and entertaining but it definitely should be rated R for language and violence. Some of the other reviews need to get a reality check and realize that this movie is fictional and strictly here for entertainment value which it delivered on all levels. It's not as gory as some say because you could not cut someone in half without producing any blood. Note: Anyone who chooses to see a move with Samuel L. Jackson is nuts not to expect lots of coarse language and the prince's proposition at the end of the movie is not as crass as some have indicated - GROW UP. Watch this movie for its intended purpose, entertainment.
The foul language was TOTALLY unnecessary, it was a distraction from a not too bad movie!!
Zany, action packed with a Bondish style. A very enjoyable movie.
Wonderful, fully enjoyable movie-great action-good action scenes! Sure hoping there will be more like this coming soon.
