Best movie of this year hands down!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

So Michael Mann spent $70,000,000 on this incoherent mess, and it's 2:13 minutes of a straight-to-DVD mess. I think in the movie business they call that 20 pounds of manure in a 10 pound bag. There are lots of beautiful shots of China and Malaysia-too bad he wasn't making a National Geographic special.First of all, the romance was so cliché and forced. Sex scenes in movies are so 1980. There is rarely anything even approaching chemistry so why bother? If you want to make a romance, then make a romance, but don't make an action thriller with a romance because it won't be either. The woman has zero likability in my opinion, zero screen presence.Now let's just have a completely random and unnecessary fight scene because we haven't had any action in two minutes. No fight can make up for the tedium of watching someone typing on a keyboard.It just gets worse and worse, dragging on with shots of the girl walking (then sitting and pouting), everyone converging on one location (he can hack into an NSA computer but he can't remove an ankle bracelet?), and then we screech to a halt for a lovers' quarrel. ...then we're back with a sorta stupid shootout but I had stopped caring a long time ago.

Simply BEAUTIFUL FILM.. A MUST WATCH FOR YOUNGER GENERATION.... THANK YOU ALL THE FILM CREW FOR MAKING SUCH AN EXCEPTIONAL FILM.. WE WANT MORE FILMs LIKE THIS................

Blackhat is only worth watching once, on my second viewing i didn't find it as interesting as when i first streamed it. There are some films that are better on the second viewing (that is subjective) in my book Blackhat isn't one of them. There are some unexpected action scenes (Spoiler: Characters that you didn't expect to get killed off). The overall plot is slightly interesting, but that's about it.

When I was watching Blackhat, three separate times I questioned whether sitting through until the end was going to kill brain cells. I asked my brother, who thought the movie was okay, to name one personality trait of the main character. After a long pause, he said only "stoic". That's this movie's biggest problem. There is nothing to endear you to any of the characters. They have faces and job titles, but no stories. There is one part of the movie where two characters sit down and have a real conversation about their personal lives and motivations, but it's the part that makes the least sense. They speak in riddles and clichés. Because the characters are so poorly developed, there's no way to forgive the far-fetched plot. The long, artistic shots that would be the film's best quality are part of what makes it so boring. There's no symbolism or meaning in the visual, it's just supposed to look pretty or something, but at best it made me think "Well, I guess that shot was aesthetically pleasing". I wasn't quite sure. If just you're looking for a fun action movie, this isn't the one. The three or so decent action sequences are nice, but short by contrast to the long, meaningless pretty scenes in between. Even the special effects in this movie are confusing. The "hacking" involved isn't too terrible, they actually refer to long periods of time needed to accomplish things, but you also get weird visual effects of the inner workings of computers, beams of light traveling on tracks. It serves no purpose. It doesn't look good. It's just computer-y. I somehow sat through the whole thing, but I would never recommend this movie to anybody.
