Now, what's the problem with paying $10 for a movie? Well, the basic premise is this. If a movie costs me $10, it better be damn bloody awesome. Unfortunately, it is impossible for most movies to be damn bloody awesome, because in the past when I went to watch movies, it was just to have a good time and fritter away 2 hours in mindless entertainment. But because it is now so expensive, there is a value premium added on to it that just about ruins every single movie experience I have in the cinemas.
Now, I evaluate every movie, and by the halfway point I usually already know whether I'm watching a great movie, or whether I just wasted $10. The key is, if you are actually thinking about whether you wasted money, its garbage. Or maybe it's just blah, but movies cannot be blah for $10 a pop.
Very blah. Lots of explosions, but too much shit about biology, viruses and chemicals that blew my mind and made me wish that this just focused on being an action flick. Sorry Jeremy Renner, you had balls of steel in The Hurt Locker, but Matt Damon as Jason Bourne still owns big time.
On the other hand, I can't wait for this. The first movie was the best action flick ever, because Liam Neeson was just that badass.
By the way, this is what happens if you take his daughter, who just happens to be the impossibly hot Maggie Grace. Just saying.
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
Life advice: Don't fuck around with a dad who has a hot daughter. Chances are, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will kill you.
