Acting is overrated as a means of entertainment in a movie! <br><br>Honestly, what do you expect when you have "stars" like Ben Affleck headlining movies???

I sorta agree almost seems like a bandwagon CGI mentality - I guess you can blame the movie Troy for this.<br><br>Anyway the acting looks bad - seems to much of a love story plot is included. I would have to endure all that touchy feeling drama stuff just for 15 minutes of action, death and mayhem. <br><br>IMO war movies should keep the love out of it.<br><br>

You're right about over the top CG battles. I think it's the human aspect that makes the battle scenes realistic. Look at Braveheart or Gettysburg or Glory. I fear the day when someone remakes a Civil War battle using CG.<br><br>
And I'll bitch about the next 37, too ... ('Cause you know there'll be 37 more). <br><br>****************<br>[color:red]Fat people are harder to kidnap</font color=red>
