All the haters on this board complain about the campiness and the over the top characters, cheesy lines and ridiculous sequences. Well THATS THE POINT of this movie. Its supposed to be so over the top its funny.

Its been said before and I think the problem was that this film was marketed to be a serious action flick as opposed to what it actually is, a action comedy and I can even go as far to say a parody. I've never watched the trailers before i've seen the movie and I went in not knowing what to expect and i LOVED it. This movie was funny and brilliant once you understand that its SUPPOSED to be like that.

I can understand that if you walk into this movie expecting it to be the next Dark knight, because thats the way it was marketed, then yes you're going to be disappointed. Its like Kill Bill, its not a serious action movie, its actually quite ridiculous and thats where the enjoyment of the movie comes from. Chill out for a sec and allow yourself to be entertained.

i second that...

m not expecting a dark Knight here... its cheesy like Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2... it was meant that way. Can't wait if there is a sequel..
