This version does not quite measure up to the original and seems to have odd casting and chemistry problems, but if you like the first movie you will like this one too.
I was surprised when so many critics panned this movie saying it got away from the first two movies in an over the top manner. First, it is action thriller and should be over the top. Secondly, the plot for this movie is much different from the two. I found it entertaining throughout, but you do need to remember it is just a movie.
This movie is going to be one of the first of many that takes a story and shoots it as a continuous slice of life shot in real time. Keaton has been gone to long and after his turn in this with a great supporting cast, I imagine we'll see him in many more new movies to come.
I had forgot just how good and cutting edge this comedy was when it first came out. It's a must have for movie collector's and the Blu-Ray is jam packed with extras. It's a great price to take advantage of a timeless movie!
At first glance I had my doubts of the pairing of Denzel Washington with Mark Wahlberg, but due to Washington's lack of aging this movie was far more than I expected. It not only had great action scenes, but the story keep you entwined during the slow parts of the movie. Paula Patton is surprising great in her role and made me wish she would do more similar roles. This is a movie that I will watch if I am going through the channels every time.
I wanted to see this movie due to the cast with the exception on Shia LaBoufe (sp?). The movie is a great gritty WWII story depicting historically accurate tank battles. Brad Pitt does a great job in this movie and his performance exceeds the period type movies he is best in. Plenty of extras on the Blu-Ray along with a 4D experience.

Blu-Ray 3D: This was a hard movie for me to rate on "stars". I only gave it 4 stars, because I thought the script was not as good as the original and some of the characters really weren't needed in this movie. However, the animation and movie itself pops off the screen better than the first "Sin City".

Blu-Ray: This in only once in a handful of movie franchises that pulled off a sequel that was as good and if not better than the original. If you didn't like the first one, don't bother with "22". The same humor is there and even though it follows the usual sequel formula, the actors did a top notch acting making it one of the best comedies of the year! Tatum and Hill make a great acting duo.

Blu-Ray 3-D: I never thought that a reboot of the Apes movies could be done with new viewers understanding the whole Apes story. Excellent CGI and 3D. Very realistic, well acted, and a great script that still reflects social issues in today's society.
