Second review was much better. Shame you posted the first review at all, just makes you seem like a bit of a dick to be perfectly honest.
I don't think you've used poignant in the right context.Isaac Dodgson said:
I don't see why you'd write that first review which sounds totally unbalanced, as if you hated the film purely because of Angelina Jolie, the second one sounds far better, almost to the point of suspicion - did you really write it or is it a ctrl c job?
I bloody loved wanted, but that's because I fucking love all that slow mo action, shooting bullets out the air, improbably awesome gunfighting shit, so I was totally prepared to overlook some of it's gaping flaws. Plus, it was completely stylised up the arse which I thought was totally sweet. Ha, and I've just complained about a review sounding unbalanced!
Iron Man did a good job of placing it firmly in reality, wonder how they're going to explain Thor in realistic terms though 0.o
Second review would have got you applause (apart from perhaps the scoring).
First review would have got you flamed.
Seriously, you can be bitter and twisted all you want, but don't make it personal.
"Angelina Jolie really needs collagen in her acting muscle as well" works far better than "I hate how she's everywhere".

Review of the review; too many irrelevancies, too much in the way of personal vindictiveness to the point of appearing more like a crazed rant by someone with an axe to grind against one of the actors than a genuine reflection of the movie's quality, obsesses on trivialities like bullet trajectories instead of dramatic structure or character elements, excessive use of pointless profanity.
Not a total failure of a review, as there were some elements that addressed valid points, but in the main it's forgettable and unlikely to help anyone save perhaps the reviewer's psychoanalyst.
D-, see me after class.

No Country For Old Men - Realism.
X-Men - Not realism.
Fool's Gold - Realism.
Lord Of The Rings - Not realism.
Sahara - Realism
Wanted - Not realism.
See what I just pointed out there? If you want to see a movie with realism in it go see something that could possibly be real. FFS I hate people that go to a movie thats so BLATANTLY not supposed to be real and then give it a bad review because they were expecting it to be. It's like eating rotten food out of the dumpster because you couldn't get in and then giving the restaraunt a bad review. Pointless and ridiculous. Stop going to movies expecting something that it's not.

Heh, 31 replies, perhaps I should put "DIE IN A FIRE JOLIE" in my next review ;P.
On the whole, this review struck me as pretty angry, I can see why you'd want to convey emotion to an article, gives it more character and all, but here its just devolved your entire thing into a hate rant against Angelina Jolie, not to mention complaining about a lack of realism in a film where the trailer shows bullets curving around slabs of meat is really stating the obvious IMHO...

Since many of us have decided that this is indeed a rant and not a review, may I suggest we move it out of the Reviews section? Maybe to Off-Topic or something.
As for my response to this..."writing", next time you have an urge to write a "review" please actually review the movie/game/book, and not point out facts that everyone already knows (i.e.: bullets can't be curved, people can't dodge bullets like in movies) and actually write about the movie's strengths and weaknesses. Also, reviews aren't meant to be biased. Please, leave as much of your feelings at the door as you can.
One last thing; when responding to people who reply to your posts, assaulting said reply-poster isn't only a bad idea, it's a great way to get banned. Although I see you learned that lesson, hopefully at least.
Edit: To be fair, I missed the other review you wrote. That was well-written and gets your point across that you didn't like it without all the hate. If you don't believe that such a task is good enough for in-depth thinking, may I suggest not writing it at all?
