Salt

This week MovieBob takes a taste of Salt.

I had a very similar feeling. Angelina Jolie = Awesome. Action I can actually see = Good. Russia as the bad guy AGAIN = Lame.

All in all, a good flick. Not great, but not horrible, either.

 

[Woodsey]

...

I thought this film came out like a year ago?

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

Still completely uninterested in this movie, mostly because I don't like spy movies if it isn't James Bond, and I don't think Angelina Jolee (or however that's spelled) is in any way attractive... I'm serious, I don't think she's hot.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Russia...Poor, poor Russia.

Always a villain, even when they're not.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but after playing the video, a second audio started up. If I paused the video that had the images, I could still here the second audio. It stopped after I closed the video.

Funny thing is, with it being such a dead weekend, another review I heard today said "High on the upper end of average films, worth seeing."

So, that hot Russian spy chick wasn't really a spy but part of a viral marketing campaign for this movie? Agreed?

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Wait, so this is actually fairly good? Looked cliched and stale to me from the trailers, but hey, sounds interesting enough to me now.

Kind of tired of the country-typecasting thing that keeps going on though =/

I never understood the "sex appeal" of Angelina Jolie. She's completely unattractive to me and I've seen good portions of Original Sin. She looks too much like Jon Voight. Just watch some of his earlier stuff like Midnight Cowboy and you'll be turned off forever. Chick has got a man-face. She's also not that great of an actress. I know my opinion on this doesn't matter at all, but talking about hot she is isn't going to get you laid either. I'm just saying Brad can have her for all I care.

I don't know about this movie. Can one enjoy it even if one does not like Jolie? Ebert gave it four stars, and like many of his alleged four star movies (Signs, Femme Fatale) I'm a touch skeptical.

 

[Jake the Snake]

I'm totally disinterested in this movie. It's been hyped for like a year, and still looks really "Meh"

I don't think Angelina Jolee (or however that's spelled) is in any way attractive... I'm serious, I don't think she's hot.

This. Her lips creep me out.

 

[wildcard9]

"Salt" and "Battery" Bob? I see what you did there, Bob!

Seriously, though: I think its better with Jolie. It's been years since he's jumped off the deep end, and Jolie is probably the only other action star out there who's free and competent. Good work Bob.

 

[Pyode]

Looks decent, but I probably won't be seeing this any time soon.

Also, Angelina Jolee is not that hot to me. She has a great body, but I just don't find her face all that attractive and that's kinda important to me. Oh well, to each their own.

 

[portal_cat]

I'm just glad they didn't use Megan Fox. I might see this on DVD, I have other movies to see in theaders right now.

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

at this point I'm thinking Russia is going to whoop our ass just so idiots will stop making games and movies that are stuck in the Cold War out of some notion that we were "denied" a 3rd World War.

 

[RheynbowDash]

MovieBob has never steered me wrong before. Gonna check this one out.

 

[gjendemsjo]

Don't think I'll be seeing this one, the ony thing I can think about now is Inception soooo...

Anyway, great review Bob, really enjoyed it.

 

[snowman6251]

I thought this movie looked kinda "meh". Not really too interested.

Also I didn't know all the studio hell the movie went through. That's interesting I suppose.
