There are eight million stories in Concussionopolis; this has been one of them.
The Bond girl, Pummelings Galore, steals every scene she's in, and she's in a lot of them.
Seriously, I haven't seen this many beat-downs since, well, never. One has to wonder what kind of message it sends to our youth. That these kinds of punches don't hurt, and don't have any kind of effect? Enough with the violence! They need to get back to core values like nudity and sex before I'll take a young'un to the movies.
I thought the fight choreography was very impressive, though most of it was likely done in post. Most of this movie was done in post. Cinema has gone in such a strange direction. The great filmmakers of the past would be traumatized seeing something like this. I have no idea whether they'd be awestruck or appalled. For that matter, I don't know whether I'm awestruck or appalled. Well, okay. I'll say it. This isn't exactly my cup of tea, and I'd rather watch some low-budget, inventive, unpredictable flick. Yeah, I know. I'm no fun anymore.
The previews before the start of the movie were for the new Bourne movie and for Tarzan. There seemed no continuity to the few action scenes they showed -- just a lot of close-up flashes of movement. Did the Bourne franchise lose their fight choreography team? Just didn't look promising. And Tarzan, for all its impressive CGI, seemed somehow lacking in its previewed action sequences.
