Spiked, that was a slashing review, lol you musta really hated it.
Review of "Eagle Eye":
To summarize, Eagle Eye is best described as an honest but unfortunate attempt to bite off concepts from successful films from the sci-fi/thrill genre, resulting in a montage that is a weak rendition of the over-flogged computer-gone-rogue plot that eventually leaves the viewer thinking they should be sued for infringement (and I must mention this was a crime also commited but this time 100-fold by the infamous G.I. Joe.). This fact alone stripped EE of most of its credibility and integrity and once those two important factors are gone you'll seldom have a movie the audience will applaud.
That being said, I didn't hate Eagle Eye, infact I found some of the action scenes genuine and riveting. It is fast-paced from the get-go and doesn't really let up thoughout the movie. Shia and Monaghan's characters were good and engaging and the rest of the cast is not bad at all.
Overall, I rate Eagle Eye 50%.

The cinematography, the scripting and the acting were superb. It had the signature of Spielberg all over it and the plot was the best i have seen in a while. For a techno-dude like me, this one is right up my street. I rate this movie 90%. |

Wait till you see the Nollywood 'Science Fiction' epic where half a dozen albinos played 'aliens'. I predict you'll be eating those words right about the time the aliens come out of their 'flying saucer' to 'lift' cars and buildings by 'telekinesis'. |

You guys are crazy Eagle Eye review Computers have run amok and taken over the world a little too many times for me. And the danged thing is impossible. A robot with intuitive psychology is nowhere in existence in the real world. Just watch I Robot and be done with the rest. Not that it did justice to the incomparable genius of Asimov, but it was good. With Eagle Eye, even though the storyline was tired I was surprised to find I enjoyed this movie a little. Some effects and action sequences aren't bad. And Shia, who never spent a single day in acting class, is a good actor. The movie rode on a weary formula and Studio megabucks of effects, and one needs more from a movie than that. I enjoyed this as one would anything with a coherent storyline. I give it 50%. |

I think we should ban Spikey from this thread. Her reviews are causing riots in some parts in Africa. How can she rate one of the best movies in 2008 15%? Cheese n fucking Rice. |

How can anyone think Eagle Eye is one of the best movies of 2008? Even Yemi My Lover is better than that piece of crap. That's even an insult to the Best Movies hall of fame. I think Sauron should be banned, he knows nothing about good movies.
