Saw the movie tonight. Probably my least favorite film of the summer. Good amount of action but a really far-fetched storyline (even for a fantasy-action film). Some of the stuff that happened was just laughably stupid.

Having said that, ScarJo's performance was very good. She really establishes herself as being able to carry a big action movie.

Anyone else see it?

Will check it out this weekend. Totally stoked. In the trailers she looks hella-hot. A good performance by her is gravy.

Looks like I will be seeing this on Netflix eventually.

I've heard that the ending was very...confusing.,.

Silly, stupid, over the top, but by Jebus I loved it. Great popcorn movie sit back let it wash right over you, a hell of a lot of fun

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Rosscoe, I felt pretty much the exact same.

How much do you think the cartel was planning on charging for a hit of a drug that lets you control time & space and defy gravity?

No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

I had fun with it, too. It's a Besson movie, so I went in with that expectation...

Well, for all of us wondering what Tree of Life would have been like if Luc Besson made it, now we know!

I thought it was pretty damn awesome. Wildly entertaining and Scarlett kicked some serious ass. All the monologues about evolution and time elicited some chuckles, but the special effects and action sequences were top notch.

It's nice to see an original action flick with a female lead do so well at the box office.

Saw it tonight. Kind of a mess, but overall a fun summer diversion. It's short enough and fast-paced enough to not wear out its welcome, even when it's at its most ludicrous. The screenplay sucks--a little heavy on monologues about the profundity of existence. But ScarJo and Freeman make the most of it all.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Hey Michael Bay, THIS is how you do a fun summer diversion!

It was a really fun movie overall with Scarlett doing good as per usual and the visuals and special effects were well done.
