Lori and I saw "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" last night. It was better than I expected. There were some missteps in the middle. Some scenes that should either have been cut or embellished. But it was good. It was exciting at points, and there was a chemistry there.
Where I lost it a little was the super-hero aspect of the characters. They took it a little too far. One of the things I liked about "True Lies" was that, in general, the characters still seemed human. Where this movie they went a bit too far with their super-spy abilities.
I thought it was at it's best when Pitt and Jolie were talking about their relationship in the midst of some tremendous action scene. I also appreciated the use of silence. Which is an art form that has been lost in the MTV-cut movies of the past few years. Particular in Jolie's Tomb Raider series.
