    Terrible, why they have to ham them up and make them almost comedies.

    Unrealism in films is hardly new though. How often do we see murder or manslaughter cases where somebody died from one punch? Yet big blokes like John Wayne etc would knock each other about for 5 minutes, roll down cliffs, fall of off balconies, get hit over the head with chairs and emerge with a thin trickle of blood on one corner of their handsome mouths.

    I'm amazed nobody has used it in a defence. I had no idea blowing someone through a plate glass window with a hand grenade was dangerous, mlud, it never hurt Bruce Willis.

      Where's it heading? How much more unrealism can you pack in before it gets silly? What are action films 20 years hence going to be like? 3D and total visual immersion maybe. Speaking of which, I've got my 3D specs ready for channel 4 3D week next week.

        Anyone know where I can track down a couple of pairs?
