I don't believe in violence against women.
And again another plea to read the thread title and and at least make some small attempt to adhere to it.
If on the other hand you only post here because you think that it is a quick and easy way to increase your post count then please fuck off.

Please kill me.I know I've said this before but this time I'm serious.

Red- Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, Mary Louis Parker, Morgan Freeman and Ernest Borgnine (yeah, I thought he was dead too).
How did this happen?
I like every single person in the cast but was bored nearly to tears by the movie itself.
How do you squander so much talent on such a mediocre spy/comedy clunker?
If you've seen the trailer, you know the story.
A group of retired CIA black-ops agents is suddenly the target of an assassination squad.
They reactivate "the band" to find out why and save themselves.
They're good...very good.
So good that they warp space & time to drive from city to city in record time while acquiring costumes and weapons...apparently, they know some really well stocked truck stops.
So good that in the middle of the big firefight no one seems to notice two women, semi-crouched behind a fallen tree, only 25 ft. or so from the target house...literally dozens of highly trained troops overlook them, even after she starts firing!
That's good taken to the next level...goodest, I suppose.
The bad guys- don't worry, you'll recognize them right off the bat (in fact one of them actually calls himself "the bad guy")- are sooo bad that they don't hesitate to spray thousands of heavy caliber rounds into public gatherings and buildings.
Bruce Willis' house gets turned into matchsticks in the middle of the night by a dozen operatives...and not a single neighbor wonders what's going on.
Tough neighborhood.
It's clear that the screenplay started as a list of setpieces and little effort was expended stitching them together.
Michael Bay- lite, as it were.
I hoped it would be better.
It should have been better.
But it's not.
"I am the one who knocks."- Heisenberg
It's based on a comic book and for the film they decided to forgo the serious tone of the original and go more for laughs .
Question: Which part of that sentence would lead you to believe that it had a snowball's chance in Hell of being good?
Added to that it was directed by the genius behind The Time Traveler's Wife and written by the talent responsible for Whiteout .If all that didn't irrevocably seal it's fate then it was produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Verheiden of Transformers fame.
As for the movie which I've avoided downloading despite 50 thousand different scene groups attempting to get me to, anything that has me looking back nostalgically at Ernest Borgnine in McHale's Navy can't be a good thing.

Shutter Island.
7/10
I liked it a lot but it is not near as good as Inception. I read a lot of reviews where these movies were compared and ranked about the same. In my opinion they are not even close. Shutter island is a good movie with great story, directing, music and acting. But it is just that - a good movie, a good psychological thriller, one in a line of many other good thrillers. Inception on the other hand is pretty much a milestone movie for its genre.
