Fists of Fury?

Recently, I spent 10 hours on a flight back to the United States. Given that expanse of time, and the fact you can't go anywhere, I did the logical thing. I watched movies.

Two actually. Mortal Kombat and Snake Eyes. Man did I count myself as lucky. Thank God I didn't pay to see them in the theater.

Indeed, I needed some Advil after watching them. All that eye-rolling gave me a headache.

There were two major problems with both these films. The first being that the dialogue was often shlocky, the storyline often childish. The second was that I found myself saying the most dreaded eight words anyone can say about a film. "I don't care about any of these people."

I realize these types of films have a serious fanbase, but Hollywood needs to write better scripts than these. Make it believable. Make it organic. And don't leave the audience needing a pain pill once the movies over.
