Absolutely brilliant
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Yes, it has bad camera work and poor editing. Unlikeable character of Marky Mark as James Silva. But good effort from Rousey, especially Cohan as bad ass woman, go Girl.. Iko Uwais steal the movie with his calm manner, and funtastic fight coreography. Story can be better if it not deliver with too much monologue. Suprise ending, i hope the sequel can be excuted with more elegant editing, focus more to hand to hand combat and more hi-tech involvement. But for summer action movie its quite good.
Good military spy film. Edge of your seat action. The female lead, (Lauren Cohan portraying a CIA commando), is surprizingly realistic and totally convincing. A woman, who's good at her job. Not acting like a man, (like female action leads of most films). She's as good as Ripley in ALIEN I & II.
The movie started with heart pounding action and ended with heart pounding action! The only thing I loved more was that there will be a second part!
That may be a low bar since Mission Impossible is probably the second best action flick that year. I tend to like Peter Berg movies and this is his best by far. The "shaky camera" a lot of people complain about has been a staple in Hollywood now for 2 decades and is no worse than the early Jason Bourne films. The plot is somewhat far-fetched (no more so than MI) and the action sequences don't go over-the-top. In fact the martial arts scenes are great. For some reason, Berg decided not to really use Rousey in the hand-to-hand fights.The characters are rough and sarcastic, kind of like the military in real life. All of the acting was good. Rousey especially impressed me, not that she was challenged to do some light romcom. But as some 90's martial artists (think Norris, Van Damme, Segal) proved, merely kicking and punching your way through a movie doesn't qualify as acting.So, who is this movie for? Do you like Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg? Are you willing to overlook some far fetched plot elements for some realistic action? And like the other movies I compared it to, this is the first installment on what they hope to make a franchise from.
