It was him, of course. He is adept in capoeira (brasilian martial art).

Yeah, I was surprised to find out that that was all him...even the flips! I saw him doing all his gymnast crap on a featurette. It was pretty cool, actually.

That was the only cool part of a film that seemed like a smug excuse for a bunch of a-listers to be in a movie together.

Go Mirren,Harrelson & Firth!

Yes, because why would a-listers ever want to do a film just to work with their close friends and have some fun rather than just for a paycheck? Those damn a-listers should only do great movies that we approve of, they don't need to be fulfilling their own desires.

Weak attempt there. And you must be under the impression that I actually care what they do simply because I said it's not a good film. I'm just calling the film how I see it. A-list actors having fun does not excuse a sh*tty film. If you think it does, well I guess we have different ideas of what cinema is. More power to you.

I don't think you got my point.

Do you think these a-listers who got together to do a film they wanted and with each other cares about your opinion? They made a film they enjoyed and, yeah, they hope others enjoy it, but they don't really care if they're the only ones that do. Watch some of their interviews, they really didn't expect the first one to do as well as it did in the first place and were planning on doing a second one regardless.

And you miss my point, which is I just don't think it's a good film, and it was nothing more than an excuse to get a bunch of a-listers together for fun (something you acknowledged yourself).

Do you think these a-listers who got together to do a film they wanted and with each other cares about your opinion?

Did I say they did? Are you implying I don't have a right to voice my own opinion because of what movie stars concern themselves with?

The cast of Transformers 2 can say they had the best time of their lives making that film. I'm still going to think it's a terrible movie. Let's leave it at that.
