It was just a bad movie. Even the editing was bad with some decisions that were flat out dumb... I mean the opening sequence where you get to watch half the squad die in 10 minutes before flashing back to days before... Can we please stop this type of shit. When they do this in a movie you insure that no one will develop any interest in the character when they know they are watching someone that died just moment before.
shareWow, talk about nitpicking.
It was a fun way to open the movie and a bit of a ‘gotcha’ moment. That half of the squad dying allowed the other half to enter the country undetected so it’s not like it didn’t make sense from a story point of view.
Fair enough if you didn’t like the movie but you say the whole movie was bad but then just criticise the opening?
I simply gave the first problem, that wasn't the only reason I thought the movie was crap. Here's a few others.
*SPOILERS*
1) Bad music choices for every segway they had in the movie, it was as if they couldn't afford to get decent songs and even when they get one that fits they go with the crappiest version you could think of. When they used the song, "I Ain't got Nobody" they went with one that sounded like it should have been playing in a diner when they could have used one from say David Lee Roth which would have actually fit much better.. and not I'm not a Roth fan but in this case it would have fit better in that sequence of the movie.
2) Human character are indestructible, Margo and Idris aren't supposed to be endowed with super powers they are supposed to be humans at the core yet in the movie they were more like superman and wonder woman where they survived way too many instances that were not survivable and with Margo was practically flying around like Peter Pan.
3)The big baddie just looked fucking stupid as hell. When he shows up it was like watching Spongebod Squarepant while tripping on acid. Technicolor starfish just don't make sense.
4) lots of plot holes, the least of which is their plan to pancake the place holding the monster and simply assume the monster would die. Wouldn't simply logic tell them to see how big the monster is before doing what could essentially release it... Oh and when said monster is released why in the fuck would the US think that the best option is to walk away from it when clearly it would be a threat to the entire planet.
5) A complete lack of continuity in style. In parts of the movie it seemed they wanted to be a comedy then it would go serious... trying to pull off that off is possible but it requires fennes to do it otherwise you end up with a spastic movie which what this was.
6) violence and gore that seemed more like it was thrown in just to insure an R rating than because it made sense.
"I mean the opening sequence where you get to watch half the squad die in 10 minutes before flashing back to days before... Can we please stop this type of shit.

This statement doesn't make sense though. The flashback to three days before doesn't show the SS team that got massacred on the beach being put together, it shows the other team. So the characters in the flashback can get vested interest in them, because it wasn't the ones from the opening scene. So no, you aren't going back and watching people who died moments before, because it's an entirely different group of characters.
