Its badness sneaks up on you by Afro Thunder

Stealth. I just recently saw the movie on DVD, and find myself saying “Meh,” to the movie’s mediocre performance. I found the action was good, and the characters were well liked, but I think that the script and plot were just too ruinous to the movie. When you make a movie about planes, even one’s in the future, don’t make it about the plane’s, make it about the characters and their adventures in the planes. I’m not saying that the movie was bad, it just wasn’t good, and it didn’t give me anything except something to do for 2 hours. I can only say that the graphics were good, the plane going haywire was a good start, but all it ever did was fly about, it never shot at anything until the end, when it shot a door. So what it if poisoned some locals, they had it coming, living next to terrorist like they were. As well, I can’t tell whether or not the black commander (can’t remember his name) was supposed to be against the plane or for it. He seemed to keep changing from “I didn’t want that plane on this ship,” to “good job replicating it.” It seemed as if a bunch of guys with too much free time just came up with an idea and put minimum effort into their work. A simple 2 out 5

Afro Thunder
A man with crazy Kung-Fu abilities and even crazier hair. But please, don't confuse yourself into thinking he's Jewish, or Arabian, or anything other than a curly-haired, half white, half mexican ninja. He also gives the whole low-down on games and movies, but avoids reviewing comics (he's loves 'em, but can't tell you what he thinks of 'em).

Mike-oh
Mike-oh works for an advertising agency which explains his need for all of the escapism he uses to soak up his spare time. At least he spends some of that time sharing his thoughts with us on his various distractions.
