I could’ve solved this last night if you people weren’t such skinflints. Here:
It’s like 2 notches better than the new Charlie’s Angels. It probably would’ve done well had it come out in the late 90s. The movie is so basic that it’s puzzling why anyone was so interested in this script for 20 fuckin years, let alone Ang Lee.
As for the high tech fancy frame rate shit, action scenes look nice with it, smoke and explosions look awesome, and a few other “special circumstances” scenes look swell (I think I remember a cool underwater scene? Or something? Maybe), but the rest of the movie is hit mega bad with the soap opera effect. Dialogue scenes look really cheap, like you, Big Willie, and yr bro’s grabbed mom and dad’s camcorder and shot some footage in the kitchen. But if you’re watching a rip or stream of this you’ll be getting the low tech version.
The action itself is just okay. Nothing notable. Probably a little lighter on action than it needs to be.
