It's wonderful to hear your thoughts on the movie, dear Sevara! ~ Yes I too saw the elements of the typical Hollywood formula in the movie but like you - I found the movie fun and had some funny lines in the movie ... and at least if it is going to appeal to a large mass audience - it did have an important underlying message of the selling of war weapons an evil business and a large part of the corruption in our world ~ I also like the way they curbed the violence to a certain extend and great special effects ~
