The Gray Man

[jazdoc]

Fun, mindless summer action movie...

Saw it. Hated it. A stupid exercise in CGI blow stuff up, made no sense at all.

It was good chewing gum cinema. enjoyable while watching but easily forgotten.

Looking forward to Gray Man 2.

I don't watch those rated below 7.5. This is 6.5. 8 and above always check out, the 0.5 in between is a grey area

If you've read Mark Greaney's excellent Gray Man series of books, you are apt to find this movie disappointing. The movie seemed only vestigially related to the books and misses out on most everything that makes the novels so compelling. Here is hoping the TV series adaptation that is reportedly coming does a better job.

Me too. Awful script. Poor CGI. Ridiculous casting: CIA employees all super-models. Complete turd.

Sounds like disparate views on a speaker cable.
Honestly, though, enjoyed the sound effects in my primitive surround sound tv room and I forgot about the work I had to do the following day for those two hours.
Sht, wish my speaker cable did that

We watched it. Completely ridiculous, but entertaining nonetheless with spectacular location shooting and amazing pyrotechnics and stunts.
I liked the part where they showed Ryan Gosling without his shirt, ripped muscles with scars. When he went back to having his shirt on, skinny dweebsville again, LOL.

Chris Evans did a reasonable turn as the depraved psychopath soldier of fortune.

Like OP said, popcorn film.
