Movie Review: SALT


Although 2010 was so far, a great year, there is no ignoring the fact that there are very few new and fresh plot ideas, most of the movies where either remakes, sequels, adoptions, or a repeated idea, and so far, there is one movie that was terrible, 'Robin Hood', and the 2nd worst movie was mediocre 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time', but now that SALT came out, and took Prince Of Persia's spot as second worst of the year, it it's not a good thing, but one good thing about that fact is that 2010 managed to keep the second worst movie up to a mediocre level, which is a step up for movies and general, and it's one way that we can appreciate the mediocre SALT.
SALT is possibly Angelina Jolie's best preformed, and most entertaining movie, a step up from the boring and senseless 'Wanted', a bit better then the mediocre 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', and a better movie then the poorly preformed 'Lara Croft: Tomb Rader', it's better then all of those movies, but yet it's still a mediocre movie.
The movie definitely has some strong points, such as good action scenes, or powerful acting performances, but at the same time, it does have some minor and major errors, but some of the action, and very strong performances by Jolie and Schreiber, gave me a chance to overlook some of the minor errors in the movie.
The action in the movie is generally good, but the problem with the action in the movie is that some actions scenes look similar or has familiar moves to action scenes in other movies, that tends to get boring some times, also there was too much action in the movie, and that causes the plot to fade away, and it also caused the movie to lack dialog, which is an important factor in any movie.
The movie had a thrilling and entertaining story, but the problem with it is that in some scenes in the movie, I felt that the story fades away from the movie, and that the ploy was used up in a few movies and some TV shows, but the most entertaining factors in the story is that although most of the action made the story seem like it was fading away, but some action scenes get very thrilling, also the movie had an entertaining ending which gives us some questions.
SALT was definitely entertaining, but the movie's entertainment was very limited for a few various reasons, whether it includes the plot, or the actions in the movie, overall, SALT is a mixed movie, with good and worthless factors, and I also admit that I was disappointed by the movie, I expected it to be allot better than just mediocre.
