Review: 7 things I forgot to write about Battle Los Angeles last week

Yup, just a storm of noise, barely-viewable action and no attempt at characters you gave a hoot about.
I keep coming back to District 9 - the aliens went from "focking prawns" to real, sympathetic characters and the initial dickweed became somebody you rooted for.

Battle LA was just "Hoorah! Shoot! Explosions!" until I got bored.
There was a bit in a smoky street, supposed to be tense. "There'll be a dog or a hobo in a minute that they nearly...yep there you go" as a dog ran out.

Hated this one. Lotsa yelling, shaky cam, and paper-thin characters. The plot...what plot? (Aliens invade, military shoots them)
I'm not a fan of Michael Bay, but this flick made me appreciate the pacing and style of Transformers so much more (still hate that flick though).

This was a silly, noisy film of cliches.
Crysis 2 with some COD thrown in.
Made it to the police station helicopter bit then no more.

It was mindless fun, Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down, so if you dislike either of those films you probably won't enjoy this.

The "vet" line did get a laugh from the audience, I also am not sure if it was supposed to...

Huh, Summer Blockbuster in not all that good shock.

It's Aliens vs Shooty, this crap writes itself.
District 9 was the last Alien film to offer something new, even with explosions, motherships & soldiers.
Actually, going to watch that now.
"It's the sweety man...eh? Focking little prawn"

Yeah the "im a vet" bit made the film for me. And yes Mr Eckhart can definitely do better

"LOLing you into a false sense of security"

Beautiful.
