**** Smokin' Aces

what a gay ass movie.

i fucking hated it... it was so lame and stupid...the gritty gun fights you think would be wicked..but the trailers were the only cool parts..there was no character development.....the only good thing was ben afleck dies. the plot was lame and the whole "OMG WTF" shocking end was so fucking lame i wanted to walk out of the theatre.

GOD DAMN THE WORLD. I FUCKING HATE EVERYTHIGN.

How did anyone think this was ever going to be a decent movie?

Looked absolutely horrid in the previews.

Lack of character development was unreal...literally...none. I couldn't have cared less if anybody died. I had NO idea who any of these people was. It might've been the worst character development ever.

Ben Affleck did get mowed down 30 min. into the movie, which was, indeed, the best part of the movie. I couldn't believe it actually happened. I was convinced he was going to come back to life at some point or something.

And omg wtf ending?!?!?!!? The ending was so random and so pointless, it took a 5-minute speech by Andy Garcia just to explain it and why it mattered at all, because you hadn't heard anything about it at all before, and the character who gets his secret identity revealed (in an attempt to be like the Usual Suspects), you had only heard talk for about 30 seconds!!! Making a big revelation that some guy who wasn't even in the movie is actually somebody else is so pointless.

Also, Alicia Keys & some other random whiney chick were supposed to be this deadly assassin duo...most unbelievable casting evar. I couldn't wait to get them out of the damn movie. They were both terrible, their parts were both so overdramatic, and they didn't wind up doing anything at all. If you're going to write-in a part for a female assassin, make it believable--not some cliche obnoxious, loud, flashy stereotype.

Here's why the ad looks good and the movie sucks, though:
You see the ad and think, "ooh, a bunch of insane assassins all compete to kill this guy, and there's some big showdown at the end of the movie with some total craziness to finish it up.
Then you actually see the movie, and they're all on the same floor as the guy they're trying to kill after the movie's only halfway done! So, basically, the plot goes NOWHERE for the other half of the movie. All the dialogue gets long & drawn out & all emotional, and everything grinds to a halt.

Basically, yes, it sucked. After thinking about it some more, I'll just say it's a bad movie with some funny lines in the 1st half, and that's it. Don't go see it. You'll be disappointed.

Did most of you go to see this movie expecting character depth and some dramatic storyline? I don't see why you would have because you don't draw any of that from the trailer they showed.

I want into the theater expecting to be entertained by this movie. I wasn't there for some dramatic action flick, I just wanted to have fun. I left the theater feeling entertained.

I do however agree that the ending was kinda dumb. Why would they allow him in the room by himself with the two guys that underwent the surgery? He was supposed to be the man with the knowledge of decades of organized crime that the FBI had been trying to get for many years. They finally had him and allow a crazed FBI agent who pulled a gun on his 'boss' to simply be in the room by himself?

No. I expected a witty, fast-paced, entertaining movie with a lot of shoot-outs & good one-liners. I hate long, uber-deep movies, but it'd be nice to at least get the feeling that you know SOMETHING about the people involved. Come to think of it, I know exactly how to fix the movie.

Start the movie a couple months earlier. Start it, living for a bit with our pal, Buddy. Get to know his prior life a bit better, then go to each of the assassins finding out about the hit. They spent all this time with Alicia fking Keys and Ben Affleck, but I'd much rather ride along with the Tremors or the other scar-faced guy...whatever his name was. Go along on a couple other hits with a few of them, see Aces pull off a couple heists, then bring on the news that he's gonna be killed. Have them all descend onto the hotel, & have the same Doctor/assassin duo working together, but, instead, have the doctor kill him & pull some rediiculase get-away, just like the other guy did. End of story...maybe throw in some other twist then...have it turn out that he's actually a live and the FBI hired the Doc & his partner to make the mob forget about him or something.

There you go. There's your good version of this movie. It's not deep, it's not all over-developed. It's thrilling, quick-witted, and it makes sense.

*Still kill Ben Affleck ASAP, though. Have the guy still play with his face while he's dead, but then stick a gun in his mouth & blow his brains out.

no. Then he ducks and they all shoot each other a la Enemy of the State.

But then he celebrates with some card trick, but slips & falls on a piece of glass that stabs him through the heart & dies anyways.
