Really loved the action, the acting and the melancholy feel to it all, much better than just an average action flick, except unfortunately for the incredibly stupid and jarring popsongs which ruin some scenes. Please please please just a decent score for (hopefully) part two. Other than that, really no complaints.

Thoroughly enjoyable - except the soundtrack
Agree it's the same ol stuff but it is highly entertaining n action packed.
As this film is based on a comic book, similarities r inevitable but it is a solid action thriller.
A short summary - A small group of centuries old soldiers who r trapped in an immortality with the ability to heal themselves must save each other from being caged by big pharma companies. They soon realize that it is harder to hide in this 21st century and so must get organized to erase their footprints but at the same time deal with past grievances.
The cinematography n editing r top notch. There is no shaky cam or darkly shot scenes. The hand to hand combat n gun fight sequences r noteworthy.
Charlize Theron is in awesome shape and all the other actors gave good performances.
Another highlight is the music.
Great potential. Ultimately mediocre
I really wanted to like this film. It's got a simple but fun premise and it's got Charlize Theron, who's a fantastic actress. But the film is just marred by plot holes, cliched characters, tacky dialogues and hands down the most inadequate music possible for this film.
It's still a passable action film if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.
