My thoughts on actions films in a nutshell:

Instead of fifty car wrecks, 100 gory death scenes, a million bullets flying, and about a billion euros in property damage, just have one, well-choreographed event. I am so tired of the school of film-making that says, "if one car wreck is cool, let's have dozens of them." The problem is that there is no tension, and action without tension is boring. Violence without consequences is a cartoon

Just the amount of money spent on the ridiculous opening sequences could have funded ten good films.

And it keeps going, as I write this in real time. I suppose they think they can just completely overwhelm the mouth-breathers by never stopping-or even slowing down-to have any sort of story.

I have a rule. If the trailer has more than one explosion, the movie is a huge dump fit only for disturbed adolescents. My rule is almost always true.
