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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
