I was very excited to see this movie. There was a lot of good buzz about it and the trailer made it look pretty kick ass. Maybe my heightened level of anticipation ruined it. Maybe the game of hilarious commentary with me and my two friends ruined it. Or maybe the movie actually was that bad. I don't know why everyone loves Steven Soderbergh so much. It's like because the cast of Ocean's 11 loves him so much, everyone wants to work with him. There really is no reason for Michael Fassbender, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas and even Channing Tatum to be in this movie. It's pretty much a direct to dvd quality of movie. The timeline was ridiculously choppy and pretty much destroyed any ability to really get in to the movie. The fight scenes were supposed to be very genuine/real. Well, apprantly I need to see some special effects in fighting because the fight scenes were boring as hell and seemed to be in slow motion. And for my final rant - what is the deal with Soderbergh loving yellow tint. He does this in almost all of his movies. It's as if he either has a sheet of yellow cellophane over the camera lens or has actually peed on the lens and is shooting throught it after. Everything is tinted. It got to a point where I started pointing it out the whole time. I was literally pointing at the screen non-stop.
No - you absolutely should not see this. It's garbage and a total waste of time. Unless you are a huge fan of the color yellow. If that is the case - this is the greatest movie of all time.
