Saw it! Loved it but I do have some issues with today's action movies. Maybe I am getting old. In fact calling it "today's action movies" makes me old I think.

Anyway, I love the John McClain character Bruce Willis has given life to. I am a big Bruce Willis fan anyway but McClain is my favorite by far. I do have to say that these movies make you think that if you grit your teeth and are on a mission that you can defy any odds. Also the amount of collateral damage in these movies make it hard to believe that the good guys are winning. They are destroying and killing stuff quicker than the bad guys but as long as our hero is alive we as the movie goer don't even think twice. I am not ranting or complaining but it does make me laugh when I see it. For those of you that have seen the movie, do you think that McClain passed Physics in high school? I think he could teach it. The things he tries and succeeds in doing would take a team of scientists 6 months to calculate the formulas and execute but he does it at a moments notice and it works and works well. Plus at 52, Bruce Willis has some good knees. Every time he jumped or fell all I could think about was that must have hurt his legs! (Boy I am getting old!). But really, I really liked the movie and the 30 bucks I dropped to get in was worth it (ok I am kidding about that but I did pay 30 to take MRS SCAR and my 17 year old niece who is spending the summer in the DC area). If Transformers is better than this one then I can't wait to see it. I am not really a big Transformers fan but if everyone keeps talking about it, I may have to go out and see it soon. I may need Purple Haize to come to Richmond to see that one though. MRS SCAR has had her fill of action movies for the summer I think. Good to be up here in DC though. Always fun to visit.
