   So what?  There is good fiction, mediocre fiction, and bad fiction.  ID:R   
   definitely fell into the bad fiction category as opposed to the original,   
   good-fiction one.  The scene in London was like, "been there, done that" so-so   
   CGI, and the belief--one    
   not held just by this movie--that it is possible to maneuver around and   
   through tens of thousands of pieces of debris falling/moving about you with at   
   the most getting a scratch.
