Given Rihanna blowing shit up, I'd automatically rate it as better than The Last Failbender on the basis of having characters of colour doing stuff.

Zing!

Sad, but true.

*snerk* Well done, you.

So.... your mom is adorable, as always, but, um, yeah.

So.

....Rhianna blows shit up? That's cool.

Obviously that end movie is the hook for the sequel, in which a bunch of plucky kids will have to build a giant mousetrap out of shoes and bathtubs in order to catch the aliens.

Can we have a double feature of Rihanna Shoots Everything and River Tam Beats Up Everyone?

Dude, I would pay the IMAX price to watch that.

[tabbyclaw]

Which one?

[encarmencita]

I read to quickly. I thought you meant a single movie with the both of them. :)

See, Rihanna blowing shit up was entirely the reason I went to see this a few weeks ago (also: Hawaii = pretty), it's just that in between the Too Stupid To Live and the batshit crazy attempts at plotting, I ended up slumped in my seat with zero will to live. At the point where they started ripping off a particularly bad ep of Hawaii 5-0

There was not as much Rihanna Blowing Up Shit as I felt I had been promised, actually. The stupid seemed to even out as the movie went on--I'm still not sure what that crack about Taylor Kitsch somehow being like Donald Trump and Mike Tyson was about, and God bless him, anyone who was like I'MA GO TOUCH THE ALIEN SHIP THING should have died right there.

I'm not even sure the kiss of death was even the massive dose of stupid - I mean, Taylor was blindingly dumb in this, but I've sat cackling through every instalment of Transformers, I can hack entertainingly stupid - but that it got all po-faced toward the end without the heights of Michael Bay grandeur to pull it off?

I can't even remember a single word of dialogue at this point, and I sure as hell couldn't remember any of the characters' names even an hour into watching it - never a good sign methinks...

[silk_noir]

I want to see it.
