One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've never expected great things from Michael Bay (Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 2), but this movie was a joke from start to finish. From start to finish the movie is filled to the brim with product placement adds ranging from Michelobe and Aquifina, to Dodge and Caddy (and, yes, MSN). Despite the great acting talents of the cast including Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, Steve Buscemi, and Sean Bean, every plot twist was predictable and not in any way enjoyable. The decent acting is a desperate attempt to overcome the terrible script, directing, and editing. Not even the force can save this.
This recieves 1 piece of popcorn out of a possible large popcorn (about 1 out of 700 pieces).
