i think i mentioned before .. it still matters how well it was done.
i cant shut my brain completely off .. it has to appeal to me somehow (it's funny, the gore is outstanding, theres some action thats unique and really well done)
i cant sit and watch some poorly written stupid shit without wanting my time and money back if there is no redeeming qualities.
action movies still have to be paced well, have some standard for the performances, be smart in some respect.
there has to be a sense of style ... origionality.
example : The Abyss. outstanding action scenes .. well paced... breathtaking sequences.
Doom : there wasnt anything there that i havent seen before.
actually i liked the 'asshole guy' who :
***************SPOILER ***************************
bought it in the bathroom .. he had an insane smile and a good delivery .. i'd like to see him in something where he could let loose. that was the closest thing that movie had to a redeeming quality (and i liked the 1st person shooter sequence - for nostalgia sake)
otherwise it was just dull - pointless action isnt very stimulating.
another example .. RE2
it wasnt funny, or interesting or origional in any way.
the action sequences were an insult to the intelligence ...
it rubbed our faces in how bad it was.
(at least thats how i felt watching it)
BUT ..
i can turn my brain off to appreciate something that looks amazing.
i was one of the only people who actually enjoyed the 1st star trek movie because it just looked so gorgeous ...(the journey into the deadly space cloud/star/satellite thingy
