I think I'll watch "Mars Attacks!" instead. At least the laughs in that one are intentional.
If you must ses an action movie, I recommend "Batman Returns." I was surprised at how good it was, and there wasn't that much hype about it. I'll take Christian Bale over Tom Cruise any day as an action hero. Not only is Bale better looking than Cruise(and taller) but - unlike Cruise - he is endearingly publicity-shy.
Oops. Not "Batman Returns."
"Batman Begins."
I've never seen "Mars Attacks". I heard it was funny. Is it worth renting?
But the quote that comes to my mind regarding Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise is: "You see, Danhy, I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend some fucking courtesy. You gott ask me nicely."
