Why such opposition
19 February 2011
I just watched this movie for the first time and while it was not anything spectacular i found it to be entertaining. Yes almost all the action scenes were completely outrageous and unrealistic but that is hardly something to be appalled at. How many times did you say "Oh Come on!" when watching John McClain kill bad guy after bad guy non stop with one gun and limited ammo, or Rambo slaying entire armies single handed, and how about Dutch being the only one of many to kill the predator with makeshift weapons while covered in mud. What pure action film isn't ridiculous and unbelievable. What surprises me is the hate offered by people who disliked the movie. Take the people who write the good reviews. They say what they thought of the movie and for the most part leave it at that. But the people who write the bad reviews not only trash the movie but deem anyone who liked it childish or just plain idiots. Personally i find it childish and idiotic that these are things such people are so bothered with. Look, its by no means a great movie. But if you want to see some Irish boys defy all odds and kill endless hoards of gangsters while saying the lords prayer, then this movie is for you.
