watch it knowing that it's gonna be retarded, that there'll be these quasi history and conspiracy theories and ...actually, just forget what you know about history and just watch it and prepare for their version - it's just a movie afterall - then it wont be that painful to watch....
except that part in Buckingham palace where Cage in need of a diversion, created a "scene" with Diane Kruger -- that was just awful. theres no excuse for it. Since when did Cage become retarded? They didnt re-take that scene? it looked like it's been acted by Joey Tribbiani when he still had that soap stint in Friends.
Cage is a good actor, at least he used to be in his earlier movies - maybe he just wasnt inspired by Kruger? for serious, these two have no chemistry.....
and thats why they resorted to Jon Voight and Helen Mirren instead. There is something wrong when the grandparents in the movie (at least age-wise) have more on-screen chemistry than the lead younger actors. But they have got to draw the line at showing Mirren's cleavage. yeh yeh i kno she posed naked in that good film Calendar girls but thats a different context altogether! I know she's considered the sexiest septuagenarian (ok shes not quite 70 yet but she's so good as Queen Elizabeth so she's kinda ancient to me!)...so i was saying, i kno this may sound prudish, but i love grandmas! stop selling grandma's sexuality! it's just wrong! wrong! Thats why they say people evolve - because after 40 it's good advice to stop giving in to our sluttish self - women are supposed bo have more than just their sexuality by that age...not that im calling mirren sluttish!!...but u kno what i mean (rhetoric). In Helen Mirren's defense, her boobs kinda looked still lush.........was it supposed to be funny? was it supposed to be romantic? but aaaaaarrrgghh!! it's still wrong!
i have seen the movie the Rock so many times that when i see Ed harris and Nicolas Cage together, they are General Hummel and Stanley Goodspeed to me. that when they found the city of gold and there was gushing water, i almost heard Harris say: "CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT BUT YOU WALKED INTO THE WRONG GODDAM SHOWER ROOM!!!" (Quote from the shower room scene in the rock when marines got massacred)
I honestly think Harris only agreed to do this film as a favor to bruckheimer with the stipulation that he be killed in it...as a metaphor u kno that he'll only be caught dead doing a movie like this -- or sumsuch.
Now of qatar-related question: Why is it that when characters in the film as much as looked like they are about to kiss, the scenes get censored but when it's the grandparents having a go at it, it is shown in its full splendor?
i know, i have got to get over my issues with grandparents!!!
Best part of the movie: Nicolas Cage hands. Dianne Kruger's coats.
Only actor in the movie who retained dignity: Harvey Keitel as FBI agent Sadusky - because he wasnt in it much.
Comedic relief and only actor who looked like he had fun: Justin Bartha as Riley Poole - he knew they were silly.
Real Villain of the film: The American President for as much as hinting at a sequel!!

Am I the only who thinks Johnny Knoxville is hot, even though he looks (and perhaps smells) like day-old bread?
