Again, spoken as though that validates what you're saying to you...it's like you don't think you can have a thought of your own without having to back it up in this way.

it doesn't matter in the least whether you liked it or not.

Then stop feeling the need to champion the movie like you take personal offense to my opinion, and we can stop talking about it.
You liked it. I didn't. Said that in the first place.
I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind so any time you want to go ahead and drop this...
Last night I watched "Red".
I'd not bothered with this as I'd heard it was based on a miniseries by Warren Ellis that I'd read and quite enjoyed, and that they'd expanded the idea hugely into a completely different storyline.
I thought it looked ok, but was never really interested - I think I may have been fresh off seeing "wanted" which didn't really do it for me.
Though I saw a trailer of the second film...looked pretty good.
I grabbed the first one, and I actually quite enjoyed it...it might be one of my favourite Bruce Willis outings in some time.
Deliberately over the top in both scenario and characters, but the end result was something actually enjoyably entertaining, and fun.
Yes, it's a far cry from the comic I read a few years ago...only really the first five minutes were related at all, the rest was a completely new storyline - this is an example of this done well, unlike a few other films I've seen fail at the same.
It's a fun ride. Great cast. Decent storyline. Funny.
While it's still fresh in the mind off first viewing I'd probably give it an 8/10.
