jkt2006

I had quite high expectations from this movie going by what the director has directed in the past. Think of Brahmastra, wake up Sid , Yeh, Jawani Hai Deewani, etc. But the tough lesson learned with this movie was that no matter how good at Director, when they work for Yash Raj productions. There forced to turn into puppets, merely puppets. Even if that means the movie goes bonkers, it seems the top guys at Yashraj fiddle too much with the production values, story, scripting, overall production, leaving a Director with no choice but to follow suit. In my observation, I have seen it over and over only with the Raj films productions. Because guess what, the same director did great movies when he worked with Dharma productions, for example. This movie War 2 has such terrible horrifying, logic, defying action sequences that you want to bury your head in the sand. Take the action in the air on top of a plane with the two main male characters fighting without any wires, slipping from the front to the back, vice versa, but nobody falls off. And so many other logic, gravity, defying, nonsense, action sequences. The only saving grace of the movie is The action sequences in Spain maybe. But besides that it's a drag of a movie. That just goes on and on boring you wanting you to wait for the movie to end any time soon, but it does not. It goes on, and on and bore you to Boredom. I have decided I'm not going to watch any Yashraj films moving forward, period!

I like Charlie Theron as an actor. She's good in this movie, actually the only good thing in this movie. Everything else except her in this movie is so bad, boring, slow, static that I had to fast forward at least 45 minutes of the movie and still it was painful to watch. This movie could have been at least 40 minutes shorter. Even then, pouring, yes that boring. Why do they decide to make a movie when they cannot get a great script in place, especially when the part one was way better and way better written I mean. Extremely disappointing, nothing to write about. Just wanted to let others know it's not worth your time. It was a total waste of time for me.

Yes it's a bit 90sh but then what? I watch movies for entertainment and this movie provides just that, entertainment. Right from the word go till it finishes there is no boring or dull moment. That's my idea of a good thriller. The story is simple, but it has its own suspense and twists. The key is the smart and tight screenplay which is written well. Performances by all three key actors are upto the mark. They do not disappoint in any scene. Dialogues are crisp in line with the story. I don't know why this has been given a five when it definitely deserves more. Don't go by the reviews here. Just get the popcorn sit tight and enjoy the thrill ride. Well that's my idea of a good thriller anyways, period!
