What irritated me was the obvious contempt for the audience toward the end (similar to the beginning of Jumper). That director puts together innovative and exciting action sequences, but he doesn't do well with much else.

I chuckled at the opening, but I too have no trouble checking my brain at the door. That is often why I see movies, to enjoy the fantasy. I find it funny how many people dislike this movie and point to how "unrealistic" it is. Especially when part of what they find unrealistic is the binary code in the cloth. Too bad more people don't realize that the punch cards used for looms were the precursors to the punch cards used in computers, way back when. Binary code in fabric is more believable to me than bending bullets. It is also interesting that people find the assassin weavers so preposterous. Apparently everyone has forgotten the Valkryies and what their loom looked like. Another thing I see on reviews that people are laughing about is the Loom of Fate, again forgetting mythology and who the original Fates were :). Yea, I'm a weaver and myth buff with no life...

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and my hubs mocked me cruelly for doing so. I think if you do think about it too much, you'll lose that suspension of belief. I don't like Angelina, thought there were so many places her character could suck, but I was pleasantly surprised with the way she played the character, and her character's ending. YEAY for James MacAvoy's bare chest! YES! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and my hubs mocked me cruelly for doing so.
