Very Good For What It Is
Rating: 10/10
Despite what many others may say, this movie is VERY good for what it
is: a mindless action movie.
I enjoyed the game itself very much and it really scared the **** out
of me. I was expecting a horror movie, but i soon realized that it is
an action movie. Well, what can you expect from an action movie other
than lots of shooting and SOME suspense? If you think the movie is
shallow, it is, but its supposed to be. Anyone who complains about the
movie being a mindless shooting movie should realize that this is not
the movie for them, so they should go watch one of their "emotional"
movies if they want. However, if you need a break and just want your
testosterone pumping so you can take a break from life and just be a
manly man. If you don't like The Rock, then go watch a romance or
comedy, this movie isn't for you. However, if you like the video game
and like mindless action, this is the movie for you. Remember, not
every movie has to have some deep meaning or evoke emotion, some movies
are just for fun. This is one of them.
