I saw Mark Wahlberg's 2007 movie Shooter last night. There was... less wrong with it than a lot of action movies. You have to admire a movie with an "Inferno Compositor" and six "Combustion Artists." They seemed to listen to their military advisors to a certain extent, and the physics were frequently correct.
It was OK. I might go so far as to say it was "watchable."
All that being said, in 1998 he was in a movie called The Big Hit. I loved that one, and I forgive him a lot for having starred in it.
Having said that, though, I saw Michael Bay's Transformers and enjoyed it. Then I saw the second one, Revenge of the Fallen, and was less impressed. Didn't even see the third one.
(Is that a problem? I don't want to miss out on any character development that might have happened in that one...)
I have not yet seen Transformers: Age of Extinction, where Wahlberg is replacing Shia LaBeouf. And I'm not sure I want to, because I don't know how I'll feel about his work after that.
We'll see. Someday. I'm in no real rush, to be honest.

We're happy to hear from opposing viewpoints - however, random spewings of racism, homophobia and bile from our teabagging friends will be tossed in the landfill, next to the mouldering corpse of Sarah Palin's political career. And anonymous comments have ended for a while. (My stalker was boring me.)
