13%? Really? Another reason to lose faith.

yeah that should be more like 93%

i guess a lot of movie reviewers have had bad experiences with pussies that smell like the great depression

Yeah it's pretty funny how people watch movies like Shoot 'em Up and think it' supposed to be cinematic gold, when in reality the makers aimed for it to be over the top and outrageous.

i know what it was going for

it failed

what was left was a bunch of shite. the kind of shite you can only get when you go out drinking with a stomach virus

I thought it was a good movie. I like stylized violence and cheesy one liners. The movie appealed to a certain crowd and hit its objectives. It's not like it pretended to be something else and failed. It was entertaining

The dialogue was atrocious.

Some of the stunts were just terrible. Most of the acting was terrible.

The plot was ridiculous on the Dr. Evil scale of ridiculous.

Just plain terrible.

You people and I do mean "you people" have yet to realize that this was supposed to be a live action Bugs Bunny cartoon. Are those believable?

The problem was they were not over-the-top enough. Also, not enough Acme references.

I personally didn't like it, but you do have to understand what the point was; there was no point.

i love people like you that talk down to people and at the same time acknowledge the movie was bad.

I understand what they were going for and they failed.

If you are going to fill your movie with one liners you better make them entertaining. They weren't.


The violence was choreographed terribly. The acting other than Clive was horrible.

And once again the plot was absurd. I don't care if they were going for a comic book stylized violence if the actual story is terrible.

They swung and missed on almost every attempt at anything.

The Gun factory part was just absurd with all the strings attached to guns. I mean really, I don't see how the guy that came up with that didn't get laughed in his face.

A few of them were 15 to 20 feet off the ground. How did he get up there. How about just using the surprise he had to riddle Giamatti full of bullets?

Only positive was Monica.

I liked it...

I had no preconceptions going in..hell when I added to my DVR queue I was going on the title alone..I had no idea what to expect and I was very entertained.

Then I see everyone fawning over Borat which I absolutely couldn't stand so I guess to each their own.
