Post-apocalyptic world looked really good, music had its moments of greatness, the action scenes were reasonably well-done though short, and Denzel Washington turned in a good performance.

Everything else...not so much.

So basically, everything was good except the part Whitta is responsible for?  :lol

Pretty much, although the directors [I guess?] get a few points knocked off for some really weird cuts that made it feel like there were a number of scenes missing that should have been in there.

This basically IS a Fallout movie, only with more religion and less super mutants.

Plus, it made $30 million in its opening weekend, so it's not going to be a bomb.

Whitta is making money but he is a critical failure, that's what counts in the end right? :lenowned

I can't hate on Whitta for writing one of the first films to topple Avatar at the box-office, even for just one day.

Same.

Maybe we can get together and watch high-brow cinema, like Crazy Heart, with our monocles and hold hands.
