If the movie actually said anything meaningful about how sick society is because people like to see girls in cute schoolgirl outfits killing things then so be it, nothing wrong with challenging perceptions but he just did a crap job. The characters might as well have been reading bumper stickers instead of a script; in fact, using that many montages no matter how cool the song selection is to move the plot forward just starts to get retarded.
FYI: it's not Shakespeare, it's just a fun movie filled with great effects and some cool music.. that's all. I enjoyed my time spent being wow-ed by the cinematography. I am a visual person. I love first person shooters. and as far as the 'hot chicks' goes... so what? I have 'hot chicks' around all day long. and the movie probably makes more sense than most NBC shows.

seriously Far-L is almost seems a bit crazy to actually expect any kind of knowledge to be imparted to you in a Hollywood film
