Vantage Point

Just got done watching Vantage Point at the theater.

Fan-fucking-tastic

It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Terrific and suspenseful movie with quite a few interesting twists.

Hell no. At first the story is good. But basically, its a 30 minute movie repeated over like 4x(or more) just in the eyes of each character.

And they found the president by accident. Yeah, that was exciting.

movie was a big letdown, especially since it was the first in a while that I had been waiting on to come out

you don't realise how long all the flashbacks take until suddenly the movie is over

sad because it had potential

This movie started off strong. There was plenty of action to keep me on the edge of my seat. After each flashback, a new twist in the story became apparent. However, the ending was disappointing. I felt like the writer's ran out of steam, slapped the cliche, Hollywood happy ending on it and called it a day.

The movie sucked dick dude. If you like being yo-yo'd for the first hour, fine.

It got better after it didnt flashback anymore.

The ending was tight, and it's a good action flick.

But your ass WILL have a headache after the movie.

4/10 IMO

Hmm this is odd. All of you must have poor taste in movies.

Very generic. So unrealistic how many people were involved but everyone kept quiet. Also unrealistic how intricate they made the plan. Robotic sniper rifle? What-the-fuck-ever.

Well the robotic sniper rifle has been used before. And I'm pretty sure they actually exist and the military uses them. So it's not that unrealistic. The ending was a tad unrealistic and out of character for a few of the characters. Other than that I liked it, even the ending.
