Wow. I was not prepared for how over hyped this would turn out to be. I was so bored during the fights which were basically a bunch of guys throwing their arms around trying to look impressive. I started skipping ahead during them. By the end where the bros fought the long haired short guy I was rolling my eyes.
Crap movie. Oh an the soundtrack is a joke. -

OP maybe you should stick to x factor, high school musical and every crappy American action movie made in the past 13 years that features dizzying super-fast camera work, quick editing and a plot that could put you to sleep in 5 seconds. YesI think that would be better suited to you.
Oh and the soundtrack is awesome. You just stick with justin bieber..there's a good girl.

Yeah, I like the atmosphere and the premise of the movie, but like you I was bored by the non-stop action. I was reminded of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I guess acne covered teenagers are impressed by non-stop fighting, but as you mature there is a critical mass regarding the amount of shooting and superhuman fight scenes you can stand. Took me two days to finish the movie because I kept having to pause it and do other stuff I'd get so bored.
Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a good movie with great fight choreography and fun violence, I just prefer a more lazy pace. I wish the movie would have indulged in its own atmosphere more rather than rushing ever onward to the next fight set piece.
