So bad this could be a franchise killer..
Sounds like a slightly modified Saw. When in doubt remake!
Zac Efron as Eddie Brock: April Fools!!
It's Oldboy on a train.
Went in hoping for something closer to the Harrison Ford style Jack Ryan. Ended up with something that was a little too Jason Bourne.
i was also pretty bored. great movie to watch while working though because there won't be much of a distraction..
Thought it was great! The opening scene was fantastic and loved the way cut in the origin story with flashbacks.
So first, let me say that I enjoyed it and will probably watch again someday when I want some mindless violence.
That said.. Seriously, this movie is so freaking close to Die Hard, it borders on plagiarism.
=== spoilers ahead! (kinda)
Similarities:
- one man who is down on his luck perseveres against a small fanatical group to save the day
- good guy and bad guy taunt each other in the same building via radios
- good guy gets to the bad guys first "sub objective" first (explosives is to die hard as little kid is to OHF)
- helicopters come to save the day, but the bad guys are ready and decimate the rescuers
- main bad guy and good guy fight 1v1 with their loving wife.. err, president watching on
Eh, anyway.. I liked it and would recommend.
Side note: every big blockbuster for this summer had a trailer when I went to see this. I hate watching trailers, but man am I stoked for this summer. Iron Man 3, Oblivion, After Earth.. Nom.
Exactly as @CaPtaiN_eYeSaNo said, mindless fun. Definitely ok with that for a Saturday afternoon movie.

Die Hard 5: The Movie That Hates and Destroys Vehicles
Seriously.. how many cars died in the making of this movie. There should be a stat for that.
Also, I very much enjoyed this movie. Good times all around. It was equal parts ridiculous and excitement. Just what I was expecting.
The ranking of Die Hards is now as follow: 1,3,5,4,2
I give 5 the upper hand on 4 because Justin Long got on my nerves in 4.
It's just so bad.. I did find it useful to put it on while working. Makes pretty decent background noise.
Best valentine's day ever! Seriously though.. that is happening.
Yeah definite plot holes, but like @Lloytron said, it was pretty fun if you just ignore them.
Not saying anything more than "Fantastic".
Agreed. These movies need to stop now. 300 was good. All down hill from there..
it got weird. quickly.
totally reused one of the bits in this movie for the tv series. kinda budget.. but whatev.
Crazy. I am completely opposite of the rest of the comments. Fantastic character creation and one of the best origin stories they've done in the Marvel movies. Stanley Tucci was quite amazing. The avengers should be truly great!
Also, definitely not the "worst superhero movie". Go watch Ang Lee's Hulk (the first one) or, God forbid... Thor... /shudder
witty and quick dialogue is definitely a good description. i love this movie for it, as well. i've seen it a number of time and it's still funny every time.
what @tarynrenae said. the opening had me laughing pretty good when i saw it in theaters. from there on, you know it's going to be ridiculous..
Loved this movie. Even though the story is not crazy original, I didn't feel like I had seen it before.
Neither can i..
If anyone ever asks me what the worst movie I've ever seen is, I quickly and easily tell them that it is this movie. I actually saw it in theaters and left the theater absolutely stunned at how awful it was.
Almost as bad as the happening... almost...
Click on the TMDb link in the info section. We pull all our info from there.
soooooooo.. anyone else hate 3D movies translated to 2D at home?
Wait, wait.. let me rephrase.. anyone else just hate 3D movies??
Good firefight movie. It was definitely better than Skyline and I had a lot of fun watching it.
I like most of what Aaron Eckhart does though. He's usually pretty engaging to watch and his roles are well played.
I had a good time watching it. It's just plain fun!
Is it a movie I'll watch a thousand times.. probably not. But it's definitely not a movie I regret watching (I'm looking at you, "The Happening").
I of course did not go by stats. That said.. come on. They can fool us once with your amazing marketing, but I don't think anyone will fall for this one again. So glad I waited for this to watch at home..
Seriously.. a sequel.. I.. I..
/shock
