Good for you.I'm not a wet-behind-the-ears movie novice and I'm certainly not a film snob. I am an intelligent movie consumer and I enjoy good action films more than almost any other movie genre.
"League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" are not good action films. Yeah, there is plenty action but they are bad, bad, bad in the script department. Both films suffered from plot holes you could fly a spaceship through and miserable character development. Too much CGI with not enough script.
They are almost as bad as "Attack of the Clones."
So, I'll take my foreign films with subtitles and you can take your "Dumb and Dumberer." We'll both be happy.
By the way....have you ever seen a foreign film with subtitles? Ever seen "Hiroshima, Mon Amore" or "Rashamon" or "The Seventh Seal?" There is more to foreign films than Godzilla and Kung Fu.
