THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123

Summer movie season continues!!!!!!!!!!! I was a little excited for the new Denzel Washington movie The Taking of Pelham 123, that is until I realized that the worlds most overrated and under talented actor John Travolta was in this. I think that this is a movie based on a book, but since I don't read, I don't know for sure, but lets just say it is. I would like to apologize to the author for having John Travolta in this picture, because no matter what he did not do justice to the character he was supposed to be. Do you remember how bad he was when he turned into the bad guy in Faceoff????? I mean he sucked as the good guy as well, but his acting in this is about 100 times worse. He plays a "terrorist" who takes over a subway train in New York City(shut up Dawn) and wants 10,000,000 bucks in ransom for the hostages on board. Denzel is playing a subway controller who ends up talking to John Travolta, and ends up being the good guy in the movie. And really, who in the blue hell would EVER be affraid of John Travolta???? There is a ton of action in the movie which is pretty good, but that's the only good thing about this movie. I know many people are saying that Denzel can carry this movie on his own. For the most part they are right. Having Denzel and Travolta in a movie is like Broccoli covered in Cheese. Denzel of course is the cheese, the good part. Most of the time you can stomach the broccoli because the cheese is sooooooooo good. But lets just say that the broccoli is covered in shit and snot. No matter how much cheese you put on it, it's still going to taste terrible, and that's what this movie is. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Hey casting agents, the next time you think it would be a good idea to put John Travolta in a movie think about it, and realize that a bag of fertilizer will do a much better job. I hated this movie because of John Travolta!!!!!!!!!!
