It was the perfect contrast to the over-the-top style that Avatar had.<br /><br />I don't know if the Academy is joking but nominating Transformers 2, FOR ANYTHING, should be punishable.<br /><br />Maybe the Hurt Locker was lost on me but I did not like this movie. I can sympathize with a lot of characters in situations I will most likely never be in but when a person lacks regard for their own safety especially as arrogantly as the main character in Hurt Locker did I do not care either. I feel this movie makes no effort to put you in the right mindset to sympathize with the main character either. When the plot is driven by such an unlikable cast of characters it does not make a good movie.Avienthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630634158650810908noreply@blogger.com
