A boring afternoon and looking at a monotonous evening. Yours truly jumps as if hit by lightning. Through the stack of newspapers, he unearths the Die Hard review.4 stars... Awesome. The evening suddenly looks promising. After a few phone calls, Batman manages to find a Robin, who is as yet ignorant of the latest feats of 'detective' John McClane. Batman n' Robin are staring at a Bagpiper club soda commercial(better than Nalli saree, for sure) within an hour. A woman is wearing a perfume so heavy, that she dragged under it's weight. A baby cries... Gosh... Someone's watching THIS with a toddler? people shuffle through to their seats... Cooling ain't good... complaints galore... So much for a good start... Focus on the screen... A guy is chatting, presses delete and his existence is deleted(bombed)... Everyone sits tongue-tied.
Bruce Willis enters, pulling out his daughter's date and that's the calmest part of the movie. He is then sent to round up a hacker and we know what we have to do. Just shut up, that is. Some cool action is followed by even cooler stuff. The tech-stuff is too hi-fi to even bother, as long as you get the idea of new-age terrorism or 'fire cell'...It's the one-liners you should be looking for...
Just before intermission is the tunnel sequence, which is by far the best part. I can never go in a tunnel now without praying...
Robin speaks as we are leaving the hall " 4 stars ain't right, it deserves above 5 man"( He rates Matrix 10 on a scale of 5)
In the end, it's just an action movie with little story but great action... Took my breath away.
P.S.: I'd give my right arm for that foldable keyboard ;)
