	I just got around to watching "Equilibrium" last night and I was really disappointed... I had heard and read so many good things about it.. I thought the whole outlawed emotions thing was such a inspirational concept for a movie... It had Christian Bale playing the staring roll and I think he's a pretty good actor...

It had Christian Bale playing the staring roll and I think he's a pretty good actor... I thought he did a good job in "Batman Begins"... And I don't think it was Christian fault the movie x@#ed, it was the writers that fell down on the job... Like the marshal arts gun fighting thing was a good concept, but it is not at all believable to have a guy stand in the center of a room with two pistols and kill 30 guys with machine guns and never move from the spot he was standing in... It would have helped the believability of it if he had jumped around a little bit... That is just one of a number of problems I had with the movie... I think this movie had so much potential to be a great flix, but they just missed the mark... But I've read a lot of peeps like the movie, so maybe its just me... Anyone else got a opinion on this flix ??? (close)

Did you notice though that they kept showing the same shot of the same person in that scene? Like whenever there would be a flash of light, it was the same person again? (close)

	Oh yeah snap it was cool alright, I liked the matrix like outfix and all the marshal arts moves, and the gun clip reloading apparatus and all that stuff... And I do seem to remember the flash of light and seeing the same scene of a guy jerking around as if being hit by gunfire over and over... But what I'm saying is that at some point in that 30 second scene where he is dancing around in the same...

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
