Well I saw the movie and I have to say I am really disappointed.
I was one who kept an open mind beforehand, and was really hopeful after all the early fan reviews. However, this movie was just awful.
I think the action was really well done for the most part. The Paris scene turned out to be my favourite in the whole movie.
However, the rest was terrible. The acting, the story, the pacing and the scenery.
I get the whole "in the near future" but the sets and bases were beyond ridiculous.
I give credit to Wayans, Miller and the actor who played SS. Good jobs all around. The rest including Quaid should be embarassed with how they handled the dialogue. Granted, the dialogue was dreadful as well.
Zartan and CC seemed to be on the cusp of being great characters, but never got the chance to be fleshed out further.
I'm Canadian, and this bothered me the most....WHY WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA A BRIT?
? GOOD LORD!!! This is 2009, not 1950, you can easily find actors to play the role who either are American or can do a proper US accent.
After all this, I am still going to to and watch it again, and maybe it will improve my opinion.
