This movie is getting ripped to shreds.
Mostly, this is the cinematic equivalent of a first-person shooter game, one where the Marines possess only slightly more personality than the faceless invaders. -- Variety
The deadening and sometimes laughable litany of shouted military-style dialogue eventually pummels into submission any hope for fresh creative angles on this well-worn format. -- Hollywood Reporter
When I think of the elegant construction of something like "Gunfight at the OK Corral," I want to rend the hair from my head and weep bitter tears of despair. Generations of filmmakers devoted their lives to perfecting techniques that a director like Jonathan Liebesman is either ignorant of, or indifferent to. Yet he is given millions of dollars to produce this assault on the attention span of a generation. -- Roger Ebert
Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have many reviews up so far, so there are no good reviews yet from critics of note. Or Ben Lyons calling it the greatest movie he's ever seen. If it's really this bad, I'm guessing Armond White will love it though.
