I would have named this post "I really disliked the Bourne Identity and didn't bother to see the rest."

If you are going to watch summer movies, the last thing you should expect is realism, good writing, good plotting, good story, good acting, good directing, good editing. In other words, expect the worst and you can't possibly be disappointed. I think that the critics are starting to give up trying to make an impact on audience opinions, so why not give it to their underling, gene shallot, wannabe critic they hired for the summer? Sure, this critic might be a college intern, afraid of turning in something bad, or maybe the critic is the neighbor's 14 year old.

The one thing that stands out in the summer movies are soundtracks, if you pay attention to those sort of things.
