Losers

I have decided I need to talk more about the movies I watch because I watch a lot of movies, even bad ones, and I judge, and from robo cop to ghosts of girlfriends past, there is some stuff that needs to be called out on how crappy it is and its due if it shines.

Tonight I am sad to say that loser is how I felt about the movie the losers. for the love of god they have the denny dude from greys anatomy playing the cliche super good guy. And not only was the movie so cliche for the whole "heros on a mission" genre, but it was over the top and poorly orchestrated. I wanted to vomit when super hero guy saved the 24 innocent children. I was so annoyed by the children gimmick that I first decided I am not going to root for writers next time they go on strike. I bet some stoner just lifted "rescue the children" story line from an old A team episode. Ironically it may still have been better that the A team. I understand the movie was based on a comic, er ah, graphic novel; but come on. Please. They could have kept the story simple without it being ridiculous. And was I not supposed to notice all those stomach churning moment where you just say "really". I have seen video games with better stories.

But I gotta say this movie did have something in the explosions, the over the top fight scenes, and just that raw sex appeal. Those things were on point at worst and kick ass in rare exceptions. There were some good names like the Stringer Bell guy, the Torch guy from fantastic 4 but there was one that stood out. The chick from Avatar/Star Trek (forget her name). That chick is so friggin hot you forget how ridulous the plot is or how stupid the shit they have her saying is.

All in all this film was bad. But I would like to introduce you to my new rating system for movies... drum roll... was it worth those 2 hours of my life and do I want them back? Even with all its flaws, I will say the movie was worth 2 hours of my life. But those two hours would have to have very little competition with a better movie.
