I want to thank the filmmakers.


I just watched the revisited, final cut of the film and I liked it. The big battle scene to start the movie felt like a drag but once that passed, the movie got much better. I must say Angelina Jolie did a good job here and she never looked sexier.

But I really have to give a big thank you to the filmmakers and sound editors of this movie. There was ample opportunity to do it but NOT ONCE did they use the Wilhelm scream! Yes, that's a big deal to me because it's highly overused. Anytime I hear it, almost every single time I instantly lose interest in whatever I was watching or playing (yes, it's used in video games too). I'm very thankful I was able to watch this long movie all the way through without hearing it because I was honestly expecting to hear it at some point due to the many battle scenes. But it never happened!
