How can people make a movie and look so unconvinced the whole time?
I know. It was like one step away from grips walking around with cardboard cutouts of Michael Madsen, Billy Zane, Michelle Rodriguez et al, while they delivered their lines over the phone.
But why didn't they hire a choreographer for the fight scenes? Clearly Kris was on her own with the choreography for most of her fight scenes and you can totally tell.
I know. It was kind of painful, like the American Idol try-outs of fight scenes. I mean she sometimes looked downright unco-ordinated. And if you've seen T3, you know that she can do fight scenes and look totally kick-ass, they just need to be choreographed by someone that wasn't out drinking with Paula Abdul.
If I had the time I would rewrite the whole thing with Michelle in the friendly freedom fighter role. Unfortunately I wouldn't be entertained long enough to finish it.
What I love it that that is kind of how the actual writer felt about it. Guinn Turner said she wrote it like over a weekend as a first draft, and that they just filmed with it. Like Uwe was all "well, as long as they're saying something it's fiiiiiine".
Oh well, mercifully I won't feel the need to sit through the sequel.
