@rob who had a broken foot: Oh, man, there's one scene where it felt like it should have been called "The Return of Darth Maul."

@angelchrys: Yeah. I noticed that already. It's being corrected. New York's fifth borough will get the credit it deserves!

@NDRLNDR12X4: Seriously, thanks. Considering I only had 45 minutes or so to write it ... you never know how that's going to turn out.

Another great review Mike! You had me (literally) laughing out loud, which is one of the reasons I enjoy your articles so much.
Though I'm still mixed on if I'll ever see this movie, especially in the theatre (I'm not a huge action flick fan and have no one to go to movies with)... I had forgotten Christopher Eccleston was in this! (The ninth Doctor in Doctor Who.)
Thanks for the review!

@Winky_Cutto: Thanks so much! And, yes, Eccleston is quite good.
