As Good As It Gets

A lot of fun.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It was actually fun to watch. Nicolas cage is and always has been awful. His squinty eye acting trying to portray someone missing an eye made me LOL. He is just awful. Like super awful. Including his bad accent. He is not even really a main character. Hayden was great! I would suggest it as an easy to watch action movie...just ignore the bad actor.

This will be a quick review. Nothing and I mean NOTHING was good about this movie. I tried to think of one funny part, action part, whatever. Nothing. I was gonna rate it a 2/10 but again almost every part of this movie was so hard to watch. The acting was awful. I know Nicolas Cage can act and has been in decent movies. But this was one of the worse movies I've seen Cage in. The accent throughout the movie distracted me from the movie at times. Hayden Christensen was also terrible. Also giving another bad accent and I just kept seeing the same role he gave in the prequels for Star Wars. The rest of the cast was something to complain about as well.Movie was slow and just felt like they didn't even attempt to make it decent. And the movie only got worse as it went on. I was even complaining about the deaths. It didn't make any sense on how the smallest wound killed but others lived with stab wounds all over. It had me so confused. A movie that was so slow and too long. After I complained about Cage's accent, his outfit and scar he had was so bloody bad. Wait bad isn't the right word, it was shameful. Cheapest way and attempt to make it a scar.Skip this movie, so many worse movies out there that still beat this by a long shot. I had to add this movie to my HORRIBLE MOVIES list, and I feel like I made a correct choice. I'm sure I can go on about what else is bad about this movie but I'm just going to stop here. In short, SKIP!!

I don't even know where to begin to review this movie. I knew it would be bad from the trailers but nothing had prepared me for this. My brother really wanted to give this one a try for a good laugh so we thought "why not".First you should know it is NOT a Nicholas Cage movie, unlike what the posters / trailers show. He's barely present on screen. Hayden Christensen however takes the lead and you see him in 90% of the movie.His stupid soccer player haircut coupled with his absolutely absurd accent makes the movie unwatchable. Cage's accent isn't even better. I don't know what they were both shooting for but it almost makes me regret having actors use an Irish / British accent for Crusade - Medieval movies.The action is set somewhere in China but most of the Asian actors had an indistinctive American accent, save for that one child with a very South London accent (for no reason). It was more than immersion breaking.Not a single character is useful to the plot. The action scenes are poorly made and I admit I fell asleep 5-6 times, my brother had to wake me up. He actually fell asleep before the movie ended. Please, this movie isn't one that is "so bad it's good". It's so bad you'll fall asleep. Avoid at all costs

I am giving this movie 7 out of 10. The reason for this is simple, the accents. Now Haydens accent wasn't to bad to be honest, but Nick Cage could have done better. The story itself was good though, I was willing on Hayden throughout the movie. The cinematography could have been better, the fade in and fade outs where strange. Compared to many movies lately this is a good one, now I'll just pop the last samuari movie in here, this was the last movie of this type that I thought was really good. 7 out of 10. Please let Hayden be a top flight star again!
