Wow.  Apparently he didn't like it.  Worse, he has fairly good reasons
for that opinion.  Darn....I was hoping it would be a fun movie, but,
like him, I'm getting tired of "action" being synonymous with random and
rapid camera cuts, lots of noise and strobing flashes, and no
perceivable plan on the part of anyone.

His parting shot at it is particularly vicious:

"Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it,
tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes
this movie, tell him you've been thinking it over, and you think you
should consider spending some time apart."
