The wait is over...and it was worth it - Mr. & Mrs. Smith Reviews

I know, like most others, you've been waiting to see what all the hype is about. Brangelina has created a whirlwind of speculation about whether or not they're a couple in real life. For now none of us really know if Brad Pitt and Angelina are a real life couple, but we do know that the making of Mr. and Mrs. Smith was the starting point of the media frenzy. So you ask how is the movie? OUTSTANDING. Not because of the storyline (which could've easily been chalked up as another action movie with a hint of comedy), but the "chemistry" between Pitt and Jolie work to such combustable levels that you want to see the movie again (which I did). What surprised me is how often I laughed and though the action scenes are typical of the director, they did work well with the movie.
I personally enjoyed the back and forth banter between Pitt and Jolie once they realize that the other is an assassin. I also have to say one of the best parts of the movie are when Jolie and Pitt beat each other up and shoot at each other while destroying their home in the process. Once the fight scene is over and they have a gun in each others' faces they soon realize that although they kept their identity secret from each other, the love they have was not a cover for their secret lives. On a side note, Vince Vaughn steals a lot of the scenes he is in, but ultimately it's Pitt and Jolie who carry the movie from beginning to end.
Now if you were waiting for a hot sex scene be forwarned that the movie is PG-13 and you'll probably have to wait for the DVD to see some more sex. But if you're gonna plop down your $9.50 to see this movie, I can honestly say you won't be disappointed. Of course we know Brad and Angelina are serious eye candy, but I have to say that I have a newfound respect for their acting and comedic timing. Of course the movie won't be bringing any best actor and actress oscars for the dynamic duo, but I'm so used to Angelina being in good yet majorly depressing movies (anyone who's seen Gia or Girl Interrupted knows what I mean) that it's nice to see her stretch her acting chops with a romantic/comedy/action movie.
Another funny part is when, after dressing up as a dominatrix to kill her latest target, Mrs. Smith goes to a dinner party but soon realizes that although she changed into a nice cocktail dress, she forgot to change out of her fishnets and dominatrix boots. In the same scene, someone asks her to hold a baby and she is most uncomfortable holding the child (maybe because babies represent new lives and she is a woman trained to take them) So without giving too much of the movie away (and yes you probably have seen most of the movie by watching the trailers), overall this movie stands on it's own. And $51 million in their opening weekend proves that I'm not the only one who was waiting to see what the now named Brangelina look like onscreen. The only person who might want to skip this movie is Jennifer Aniston. But for the rest of us all I can say is the wait is over, and it was worth it.
