I'm not sure about those box office expectations (that's from the far-right Daily Mail). Surely everybody knew that the contards would flock see this. But aside from politics:
"Mannered acting, dismal cinematography, clunky attempts to enhance excitement via gimmicks such as slow motion, and a musical score like a fountain of goo all serve as flashbacks to Reagan-era network schlock."
And that's a conservative critic from a conservative paper (Kyle Smith from the Wall Street Journal).

So glad to hear slow motion viewed as a gimmick. People rave about Mel Gibson as a director, and slo-mo is his biggest crutch after gore.

I have noticed way too much slow motion lately. Worked in Private Ryan, but otherwise...
