It's actually very surprising how many people don't find Angelina Jolie attractive. To each his own, I guess, but I find her hotter than a thousand suns: it probably has a lot to do with the fact that she can pull off both tawdry and refined, is obviously very intelligent, and has just a whiff of that "batshit-fucking-LOCO" about her, with the tatts and the whole 'wearing a vial of her (former) husband's blood' thing. It also doesn't hurt that, unlike every other starlet out there, she's actually 35 years old and has had kids, and still looks great, so she's probably going to remain beautiful for a long time.

Whoops! Sorry about that: Got a little off track there.

I actually wanted to see this more because Wimmer wrote it, and both Equilibrium and his redo of the Thomas Crown Affair were good enough for me to be interested in his work. Ultra Violet? Not so much, but then again, that was an adaptation. Law Abiding Citizen was also good, up until the ludicrous ending.

Needless to say, I planned on seeing this anyway, but it's nice to know that Bob liked it: I feel more comfortable that I'm not wasting my money that way.

First you target Megan Fox for being an untalented plasticish looking sex symbol (I agree, but that's not the point here) and yet you do a complete 180 on your stance for that sort of thing with Angelina Jolie? Maybe it's just because she's your generations U.P.L.S.S., but all I'm asking for is that you try to be a little consistent.
Emphasis added: whether or not you think Jolie can act, people who professionally judge that sort of thing think she can-- she did win an Oscar after all.

I think Bob has been relatively consistent: Johannson: hot and can act. Bob likes. Jolie: Hot and can act. Bob likes. Fox: Hot but is more wooden than a ventriloquist's dummy: Bob dislikes.

Is there really any reason for half the people commenting to just say
"I don't even think Jolie is hot so I won't see it"
Because it's really starting to get repetitive and annoying.

A spy movie where you can actually see the fight scenes? BRILLIANT!

To the Kremlin: We'll stop making hot spy movies about Russia when Russia stops making hot spies.

I'm probably not going to see this movie anyway, just seems to be another generic spy/conspiracy movie to me, though I could be wrong. Also, am I the only one who finds Angelina Jolie marginally unattractive because of those damn lips?

I'm actually surprised MovieBob hasn't reviewed The Sorceror's(sp?) Apprentice yet. You think with Nicholas Cage being in it and all that...

I am in absolute and in total agreement with this ninja.
P.S.
Do not Google image search sexy Russian Spy with the filters off.

First time poster, long time viewer, blah blah blah I enjoy the show.

So, from what I gather from this is that it's your standard action flick that's fairly forgettable and neither particularly good nor bad? I guess that if Bob's correct and it doesn't ridiculously over-sexualise Jolie and treats her as a normal person then it gains credit for not falling into the trap that seems to have doomed most other female driven action films.

Of course, We're still waiting on the A-Team over here in England so I'll probably see that if I get the urge to see that sort of film.

Oh and if everybody is throwing out their 2 pence on the matter, I'd say that Jolie is attractive but doesn't stand out too far above the norm for Hollywood actresses. To me, Scarlett Johansson is undoubtedly 'the' hot chick but there are probably many who would disagree.

That's what they want you to think. Plus look at all the journalist murdered there last year and all the stuff the FSB (formerly KGB) are doing now [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/world/europe/04detain.html].

Ugh. When are we going to get over Angeline Jolie? Honestly, the fact that you daunted on her for a good 30seconds to a whole minute was just...grating on my ears. Review the movie please, and stop fantasizing about some woman who isn't even that hot. It wasn't funny, and it was just kind of creepy.

Yea, enough with the Russian bad guys. Let's use the North Koreans. I'd say they're more of an enemy of the US than Russia is at the moment.

Angelina Jolie? Hot? That woman is a fucking anorexic.

And the film was only so-so. You'd do just as well if you rewatched the Bourne Identity.

Consistency over only three actresses? ONLY? That's not consistency.

wait wait wait... you think megan fox is the ugliest thing to hollywood since larry flint and you think that angelina (Let remember tomb raider) jolie (btw that is the french word for pretty). is hot/beuatiful/sexy? how does that work? there both that stereotypical big star uninteresting hot that you called meagan fox for in jennifer's body. i'm not gonna lie i'd sleep with either given the chance but niether strike me as the holy crap that is a fine peice of ass.

also brad pitt, jennifer aniston, too many babies, tomb raider 2.
