The in-your-face and over-the-over-the-top filming and performances can only lead one to believe this film is a parody of the Fast & Furious along with the hundreds of no-way-that-can't-be-real films we have seen over the years. Is this film visually stunning...YES! Funny....YES! A Micheal Bay Masterpiece....DEFINITELY! Expand

Take everything you know about Michael Bay films - frenetic action, unnecessary explosions, inexplicably-placed shots of beautiful women, racial stereotypes, and an epilepsy-inducing number of cuts per second, and then remove anything that made his other films even remotely bearable, then stretch a plot so thin and utterly beyond credibility over two hours, complete with unlabeled flashbacks, random and disconnected moments of character motivation, and dialogue that flits so rapidly between unfunnily glib to unbearably macho-melodramatic that it might give you mental whiplash. Not even Ryan Reynolds can improve the limpid dialogue and allegedly "comic" scenes.

Imagine the frenetic catastrophe that was the latest Transformers movie, then remove the charm of the Transformers themselves, and you'll be getting close.

It is a masterclass in awfulness. I feel like it should be in future cinema studies subjects with titles like "How to make a truly terrible film on a gigantic budget."

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you want to learn the true art of torture, strap someone in a seat and make them watch this movie.

This middle school, food fight of a movie has so many things wrong and nothing really right. I will admit that I had to watch it twice because I fell asleep during the first viewing. So let's unpack a few things.

First, the camera work. Mr. Bey must have wanted to take a page from the Bourne movies, unfortunately the process did not play out. The actions scenes were so herky-jerky that I thought the way the stunts were filmed detracted from the story. Same when it came to building the characters. He was so intent on build a montage of shots at different angles, it appears he forgot that he must keep the camera still long enough for the viewer to develop some sort of bond. But unfortunately, this is were the script fails as well.

I once heard George Clooney on an interview. He said the most important part of a movie is it script. He was spot on this assessment. This script is nothing more than Deadpool on steroids with a very bad dialogue. I can see why there may be a drug problem in Hollywood. If I actually had to say some of these lines, I would probably have to do some sort of drug just to get through it.

Mr. Bey must have thought that if you threw in enough violence, absurd situations (such as using an eye to activate a person's iPhone and car crashes that the viewer would overlook the smaller things like character building, script/plot and camera work. He's wrong.

I would like to congratulate the entire cast on this movie. I would recommend that they call up John Travolta and ask him how he felt after the reviews for "Battlefield:Earth" came out. They all now have their own "Battlefield:Earth" to put on their resume.

If you have more than 2 brain cells and nothing to do, putting a spike in your head or setting yourself on fire would be much more pleasurable that watching this disaster of a movie. I gave it "1' because its Christmas.

Unfortunately Michael Bay has never come out of adolescence and cannot make anything interesting out of what should have been a short made by some struggling young director trying to get his name out there. There are flashes of inspiration, mostly coming from the cast trying very hard to make something out of nothing, but there's no payoff to any of it. Expand

This was a fun tongue in cheek action movie with lots of explosions, I think by now most people know what they're going to get from Micheal Bay and that's exactly what you get. If that doesn't appeal then perhaps Ryan Reynolds will.

He has to be trolling us. He has to be. There is no way Michael Bat continues to make films that get louder, more unfunny and nonsensically written by accident.

Just get a popcorn and turn off your brain. No super story arc or something like that. Just plain action and fun camera work with some bad jokes in between. We'll see how this one develops if there comes a part II.

Ohhh what a **** *facepalm*

6 Underground proves once again that Michael Bay couldn't direct a decent movie to save his life.

Starts out pretty good but it only took about 5min before I lost interest in the first car chase and after another 15 it made a complete nosedive. Ryan Reynolds proves once again his whole repertoire consist of one character that he can "act". If you seen any of his past movies you know what I mean. The effects are pretty good but that's the only redeeming quality this movie has going for it. The team the movie revolves around is about as stereotypical as it gets, and I couldn't care less about any of them. I have no idea what happened in the last 40-45min because by then i had already completely lost interest and shifted my focus elsewhere. Expand

The two universal truths to this movie: 1) The opening sequence is vintage Bay at his best, and 2) The storyline is it's weak point.

The latter would not be a problem, and indeed it doesn't render the Bay-esque 10-angle-action-shots/second opening sequences futile. However, the first Act writes cheques about the expectations of the rest of the movie that the remainder of the movie sadly can't cash. It almost does the job of being the genesis of Bay's answer to the Fast & Furious / Mission:Impossible franchise, albeit the wonderfully ridiculous over-the-top version, under the cover of Reynolds' idiosyncratic humour. Alas, the aforementioned weak plot is not only found wanting, but also wasting the opportunity of what could've been the start of something everlasting, if even a fun and exciting stand alone movie in its own right....this review would be longer but I'm still having to concentrate on the never-ending action scenes that are still somehow not over despite finishing the movie hours ago.
