But if you are a teenager it's probably ok with the over acting script. If you are simply anyone else you probably realise the realism is not really. That's a shame because so much work has gone into the cgi and much of the work in creating old ships etc seems spot on. But the computer guys seem to have a hang up with anything that goes bang being simply a fireball - there is no high explosive to be seen. Just traditional flame pots.

And if you are an aviator you will marvel at fully loaded planes being able to climb 200 feet in a couple of seconds on takeoff.

If you are uniformed you will marvel at one pilot being a 'maverick' and wonder why he was not in the brig for insubordination - and for practising an engine out side-slip, undershoot, landing on the carrier. Or the other pilots shouting at Nimitz when he arrived. Oh dear no

I prefer the original and hoped this would be better. But I did not pay for a seat - the teenagers did

Polish Squadron 303 were arguably the best RAF squadron to take part in the Battle of Britain. Their memory should have been honoured with a great film. This film was not great. I saw little evidence that anyone with a good knowledge of WWII or the Battle had any say in the matter. Or anyone with an aviation knowledge.

It was disjointed. Filled with rather silly dialogue. All the British officers were idiots. Playing roles, probably never played by WAAF's at that time, all the women were beautiful. In other words it was made for teenagers. Shame

I love the series, including Legacy, and for years we have been waiting for this sequel. What a let down

Somehow this intelligent agent is drawing attention to himself, albeit in a remote location, by winning at prize fighting. And the first indication that this is not 'our' Bourne.

Suspension of disbelief starting to erode

Nicky has changed from the thoughtful and timid back office worker into a dynamic go anywhere, hacker burning dynamo who must move around with the surety of a treadstone agent. Wtf

Mindless computer tech follows. The tired Hollywood clichés where computers are given one command and do some very complicated things

And Athens riots meant not simply that Parliament Square is mayhem. As Jason rides the back streets gobs of flaming (petrol bombs?) are occurring in every street for no foreseeable reason. To top it all a satellite manages to track Jasons every move and somehow someone on another continent can predict where our dynamic duo on a motorbike will be in the backstreets in 50 seconds time. I have ridden the back streets of Athens on a motorcycle and at no time could I have said where I would be in even 30 seconds time - and that was without the possibilities of pedestrian staircases and alleys. As stormin Norman would have said 'bovine scatology'

And that's when I got sad for what could have been. I can only imagine that anyone who calls this a good action movie is satisfied with the comic book pap released every holiday time
