I tried. You saw how excited i was, and i even said i was going in just to see the action. It was just too much and got super boring, even my GF is like wtf why did you make me watch that.

I love war films, i love alien films, i love war in USA. IT has all of it, but none of it has a purpose. You dont care about any of the soldiers, it never builds any emotions, and its just horrible.

I liked it better than tron. It had some decent actions scenes. Id like my money back though.

Its like watching the Transformers with even less motivation, less character development, and the only backstory you get is Shia's character screwed up so everyone hates him till the end.

Aaron is the only thing I liked, but it was his actions. Then the movie started getting decent but the stupid stereotypes kept ruining everything. IT got to a point where I think they were just doing it to be funny.

It felt like the entire movie was a military prop to advertise the marines. I love war films, and Black Hawk Down is my favorite movie. The good ones dont make you feel like this.

And dont get me wrong im not bashing the review or anything, i was already well hyped for this movie and thats why im so mad.

Some, not all, of the VFX was good. But look at Video games, they have all pictured and donw things better. They didnt even show details shots of LA being destroyed, just distance black with fire. Its LA, we should be seeing giant buildings falling and being destroyed.

Then the script. They do something, then tell someone to do something then say it again. "Put a blanket on him so he doesnt get cold" Grabs blanket "this will make it so you ont get cold"

And the best part, "Im a veternarian, maybe i can help"

Yeah...I lol'd during the veterinarian part. It's like...oh...we have NEVER seen that before!

The sad part is...a few lines were pretty good. Mind you, they were all jokes.

Also...can someone get the cameraman some muscle relaxers?

@soldierone

There was alot of "Marines are the best" thrown at the audience, but in reality thats how the marines do see themselves, so its kinda just exaggerating whats really true.

the Blanket part of the script wasn't a poorly done "this will do this" thing the guy was in a state of shock, the doc just wanted him to know what he was doing, standard procedure for a medical person.

The VET part made everyone laugh. lol

My favorite vfx shot was the car flipping over onto the car. i was like DAM lol plus the DBOX seat shook like a mother. lol
