About the Smiths
Went to watch Mr & Mrs Smith at Lido last night...
Overall quite action-packed and funny, though there are many really far-fetched parts!
My major gripes about the movie...
**SPOILER ALERT**
How the heck did Mrs Smith survive being smashed into walls, kitchen tables, grandfather-clocks, and being kicked non-stop by Mr Smith. I almost thought that I was watching scenes from the movies Terminator 2 & 3 (when the 2 Terminators fight each other)!
And the Final Battle... Wah liao eh... Even more over-the-top, man. We see a whole battalion of "professional assassins from 2 organizations" flank and fire at Mr & Mrs Smith. Either they miss miserably or something, because Mr & Mrs Smith totally surivived the whole attack (except for a minor graze on Mr Smith's left arm). Wtf? Professional assassins missing so badly? Did they even pass their range during BMT?
People might point out to me, "But the Smiths are wearing Kevlar-vests, so that protects them from all sorts of firepower". Wrong! Kevlar-vests only stop/weaken light-firearms (ie pistols), but the weapons that the "professional assassins" used are top-of-the-line assault-riles and SMG lor. These weapons would pierce through the Kevlar-vests like hot-knife through cheese!
And it's so funny seeing the "professional assassins" attack the Smiths in waves of 4 (2 for Mr Smith to shoot, 2 for his wife). What were the rest doing, waiting for their comrades to fall before they form another group of 4 to charge? What is this? Bollywood movie ah?
Do not misunderstand me. I do not hate the movie or what. Actually, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly and I would agree that it'd have sucked if the Smiths were to die at the end of the movie if the director decided to take a nod in the "realistic" direction.
After all, who doesn't like Happy Endings?
