Last week I got the chance to take in
TWO movies that was suppose to kick off the Summer blockbuster run, but it's looking like a false start to me with these two I gotta tell you. I'll explain why, starting with
Terminator Salvation first. To me the movie never developed the intensity that the first two did by having a central villain in the film. Two heros and not one single
"bad ass" in a world
FULL of terminators? Give me at least one programmed to find
John Conner of present day and kill him right? You sent one to the past damn it! Kill the son of a bitch
NOW man! True be told, that other character dude from the past was
WAY more interesting to watch on scene (no homo) than ya boy
Christian (I like to go off on the on-set help)
Bale! Not to spoil things but ummm
...Common's in it too, stink up the joint like his last album. It hurt to watch him fail twice in one year. His worst line after hearing that
"the Resistance" was going to blow up a
Skynet base full of survivors was
"HUH?" Brillant writing fellas. Plus through all the chaos, and day to day combat going on, he must've still found time to get a fresh cut and beard shape up from time to time I'm guessing. The writing was on the (poster) wall, it says
Bale (Bail). And that's what I should have done...
"Bale'd!"Now on to
Angels & Demons, which wasn't that much better. Might you the whole story plot is suppose to happen with a time span on 24hrs. It works for head-butting
Keifer but not so much for
Tom (Hanks) here. Especially after a last minute flight to
Rome, I'd think he'd be jet lagged. Somehow he gets partnered up w/an attractive female
AGAIN(?), who's not only a scientist but can read ancient Latin, and like to deface rare, out of print, only one copy left books. Which by the way struck me as odd that
NO cameras in that highly guarded, heavily watched area, caught on tape...what? And
NO consequences came from that? I'm an atheist when it comes to believing that would happen! And can we talk about the last min. bomb rescue/parachute escape? Explain to me how Ewan only gets effed up on way down, but an explosion that floored the whole
Vatican city left the closest person to the blast untouched? A
"Big Bang" proportion type at that! A big
BOO on that one! I say he deserves to run the
Vatican after surviving the self branding and the near fatal sky dive, it shows that he's committed to his causes no matter how zany. The only sin committed here, was paying to see this before it comes out on
DVD.
