It looks fantastically goofy and slick as hell. I’ll be there.
P.S. Cara–there are two of us! Whatever will we do?
As much as I can’t stand Angelina Jolie, I will probably end up seeing this movie. “Wanted” and “Batman” had action scenes filmed in Chicago last summer, which led to the closing of Lower Wacker for weeks on end (at night, anyway). I depend on Lower Wacker so much, I got lost every time they suckered me with a surprise closing. Lower Wacker is so creepy, it’ll look awesome in Batman.
This years “Mr & Mrs Smith”? Save me a seat!
Totalllly giggled but only because it looks soo cheesy and SOO SICK!!
So pumped to see James McAvoy as an action-star! But I hope he gets back to period pieces/actual acting soon…
And even though I don’t really like Angie, glad to see her back as a tough ass-kicking chick!
Angelina – the chick I love to hate – and hate to love. Seriously, tho, I wonder if at the end of the day Brad has manhood issues due to the “tough chick” movies she makes. What’s the opposite of “empowering” for a guy?
my girl and boy crush in the same movie, i’m there.
Seriously?!?! Why would anyone consider going to see this movie?!?! Why did Morgan Freeman agree to make such a tremendous piece of crap?!?! The fact that so many of you commented that you can’t wait for this movie to come out is incredibly sad. If you’re this excited to throw away $10, give it to me and I’ll use it to pay my heating bill. Come on, people, use your heads for something other than a hat rack. The only way you can get Hollywood to stop green-lighting so many un-original/un-imaginative/un-creative movies is if you stop forking over money just to see a guy on screen with his shirt off, especially since you’ve already seen it. Geez, grow up!
oh, yes. i had the giggles when I watched the clip. So ridiculous looking it’s funny. but i’ll more than likely probably go see it. Or at least rent the dvd
Rick-This is a new and improved James McAvoy. He was fairly skinny in the Last King of Scotland. The boy has been working out. But, I do have the good sense not to pay $10 and sit there for 90 to 120 minutes watching an inane action movie for a minute of McAvoy. That’s what the DVD is for.
Rick, as silly as the movie looks, there are times when you absolutely need mindnumbing action movies. Especially incredibly unbelievable movies where James McAvoy wears no shirt and Angelina gets to be a unhumanitarian (I do not think that is a word, but go with it) bad *ss.
Angelina did adopt three members of the crew during the filming. Rick is right about supporting bad action movies because of the actors. The good news is there will be a fourth Bourne movie.
Ah, it’s so odd to hear James McAvoy without that yummy Scottish accent. Regardless, it looks like harmless action fun.
Love James McCavoy. He’s so talented and one of the few newcomers with real talent and charisma that is hard to believe he’ll waste his mojo with this (altough hillarious) piece of crap. Love that shirtless moment tough.
Right on, Rick…I’m with you 100%. Saw the preview for this at a showing of “Semi-Pro” (which was a lot better than I would have expected) and immediately thought, “This…is…crap. Ho-hum…Angelin Jolie plays yet another hot/tough woman who’s better at EVERYTHING than you, and knows it…yawn”. Unless it’s a parody, this is the kind of dreck that a better movie like “The Player” would rake over the coals. Yikes!
Uh oh, guys. We’re embarrassing the human race by declaring our love for un-original/un-imaginative/un-creative action flicks. Guess we’d better boycott the movie.
Come on, Rick and Co. You can’t live off meat and potatoes ALL the time. Sometimes, you just need a big bag of Chee-toes.
