i finally got around watching
Retired Extremely Dangerous 2 -
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821694/reference
it was a good film, with some issues.
the plot is THE SAME SPY FILM PLOT OF EVERY SPY FILM EVER.
the pacing is so weird, it looks like an large of disjointed scenes, vaguely associated to each other. however, they were all nice on their own, it's just annoying that the mood changes between them and the pacing is off. but, again, they were all worth watching .. hmm .. more or less.
there is action, and good action too, but this is not an action film.
the dialogue was good. john malkovich's dialogue is less crazy now, it makes a lot more sense, his character is much, much better than in RED 1. Helen Mirren's character is slightly worse, it loses the charm that it had in RED 1. Bruce Willis is just bruce willis. Anthony Hopkins is amazing in everything he was ever in.
ok, so, maybe it doesn't give the impression of being a good film. it's like, a very promising but broken AF beta of a game you really want to like, and you are like "yes, yes, this is gonna be great, when is the release date" and they are like "no, this is it".
7/10 but just barely. or rather, 6/10 but add 1 point for bruce willis. (say it like it's a Raiders Of The Lost Ark quote)
