[size=13pt] <sup>SALT ? Awful movie. The plot is ridiculous! US CIA, FBI, White House etc, filled with Russian spies, A. Jolie is indestructible! She escapes from every place and break into the White House bunker for good sake! As a comedy i would have rated it above 3 but as an action/thriller movie. . . .it's a 1!!! Some might like unrealistic movie looking for a little bit of fun. . . but i don't even think it even did that for me.

There is nothing new in this movie, nothing that you don't have in Jason Bourne (a million times better) so why would you watch this horrible one. A superwoman who can make bazooka from a chair , bleach and extinguisher better than Mcguiver and kicking everybody's behind better than Jacky Chan although she's probably 50kg with not a single muscle. . . . please! And at the end, while she is supposed to be the biggest terrorist on earth the guy let her go because she told him she's innocent!! To be honest i don't know how i got to the end of that movie if we can call it a movie!</sup> [/size]

Very well put. Some would say the same for inception's far fetched storyline.

Mehn I like this montelik guy and his sharp comebacks 
The complaint is Salt was not realistic?          which movie is? Inception?      

JeSoul:

^well said. I guess the "degree of truth expected" is the issue but still . . . if the complaint is about the "unrealistic-ness" of a movie - it is not a legitimate complaint, because movies by definition are not realistic.

These same people will be screaming for joy when Jack Bauer goes 24hrs without taking a pee or poo or sleeping a second, or returning 10mins later from a gunshot wound, or appearing fresh minutes after a brutal interrogation session. Nothing on TV is "realistic" jor and rightfully so.

eldee:

There are breaks in 24, that's why episode 40 minutes. . . he pees and eats, we jut don't see it, except the occasional coffee.

There's a difference between that and AJ breaking into the White House and 'I didn't do it' escape. . . even as Jack Bauer as Jack Bauer is, he couldn't arrest that George Bush incarnate.

JeSoul:

  and how does he recover so fast from gunshot and stab wounds? He is brutally interrogated but then gets up and walks away like say na massage dem give am.

JeSoul:

Personally I see no difference. What I honestly think is if Salt (female) had been Salter (male), we would not be having this discussion. Its because its a she, the fellas are having trouble taking her seriously as they would Jason Bourne or Bauer or Bond.

eldee:

Jack was always on drugs. . . since Season 4 or sumn.
And we always saw them inject him and clean him up whenever the teams came around.

Heheh . . .Playing the gender card eh?? We've seen Michelle Yeoh in tomorrow never dies kick James Bond's backside and it didn;t seem weird, this is just different.

JeSoul:

    common now eldee . . . common, no amount of paramedic first-aid can cure a man that fast - abi Jack has wolverine's quick-healing abilities? No amount of gauze, saline and band-aid can heal a gunshot wound in 20 mins.   

JeSoul:

Not really playing the card per se . . . this discussion came up on another thread and the trend I noticed is all the guys disliked Salt and all the girls liked it - same here. The only conclusion I can arrive at is gender bias - add that to the fact Jolie is frequently seen as a sex symbol - casting her as a badass spy is tough.

All in all, I am upset at the haters of this movie, cos they're going to deny me the pleasure of a part two ever being made

montelik:

And I am sure he takes power naps during dis time as well . But seriously Inceptions dream within a dream, within a dream, within a dream, within another dream (with multiple kicks and what not) story line, plot, idea or whatever you call it, was also ridiculous. sci-fi movie or not. I mean see how many bullets were shot at them in their various dream worlds, yet none hit them.

'Just because an idea is overly complex doesn't make it cool, it sounds like a very silly idea

JeSoul:

eldee doesn't want to admit the "unrealistic-ness" of 24's Jack Bauer   issok.

JeSoul:

I dunno how ppl can open their eye and praise Inception for the very same characteristic they insult Salt for - genre difference or not. Movies by definition are usually not realistic. Eldee, no be you just post video wey talk say -  

montelik:

I guess we see d things differently. Many people classify Inception as a sci-fi movie but I see it as more of a action/sci-fi film. For a supposed sci-fi flick it had a whole lot bullets flying, karate kicks and kung fu chops. Most sci-fi flicks don't have the volume straight laced action Inception contained. In my view tagging Inception as a sci-fi film is an incomplete description. It felt more similar to d typical action movie than most sci-fi films. Hence I will judge some of its content by the same standards as Salt.

^{Thank you dear. . .}

montelik:

Very well put. Some would say the same for inception's far fetched storyline.

Darthmaul:

if salt was acted by an unknown actress, guess we woldnt be having this thread. if inception was also acted by unknown actors, it would still be a cult classic( event horizon, dark city etc) maybe in the future perhaps.

Exactly

watsonlove:

It's gloriously absurd. This movie has holes in it big enough to drive the whole movie through. The laws of physics seem to be suspended here the same way as in a Road Runner cartoon.

medjai:

Two great movies but my best movie for 2010 is 'Ninja Assassin'

Inception does a difficult thing. It is wholly original, cut from new cloth, and yet structured with action movie basics so it feels like it makes more sense than (quite possibly) it does.
