I was excited to watch this movie. I thought "cool a spy movie I haven't seen it will probably be really fun, steamy and action-packed with a nice story". Wrong!! This movie was really bad like seriously guys. 1) What happened? They were a married couple for 6 years, even with the tension they still got along and then all of a sudden they learn they are both top spies and all that is thrown in the garbage bin in mere milliseconds and all of a sudden they f** hate each other over their jobs?? What?? Like literally one scene after they come home and then she goes in the car they go from love to go f yourself I am coming to hunt our ass down and kill you, I never even loved you. A horrible plot, how is that believable?2) If she or he wanted to kill the other they had a million chances to do it. Directors, we get it cut to the point, is this foreplay and they will end up sleeping together and saying I love you sorry in the end? Or will they end up killing each other? Because if it is killing each other doesn't seem to be happening...3) What are all those expressions of disgust on Jolie's face? Like I found this whole role didn't suit her. Yes, she is sexy and stuff but this movie just didn't suit her. Something about the way she was acting and making expressions didn't fit with her.In conclusion, this movie is a pile of horse manure that they wrote in 2 minutes and said let's throw in a good looking couple and some gun shooting and some sexual tension and it will sell millions (which I bet this trash did). I like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but this movie is embarrassing...

What I love most about this movie is how it feels like a classic Hollywood picture from back in the 1960s. It is grand without trying to be grand. The action is outstanding, both gun on gun and hand to hand. The effects are energetic and etc. The movie is about a couple of spies who get married without knowing the other is a spy and both find out the hard way. This is a great action / comedy / drama / whatever you want it to be, it is just awesome and on point. People have been begging for a sequel to this ever since it came out but not me. Hollywood's track record when it comes to doing a good sequel is awful and I just don't want those sons of witches pumping out a cash grab flick with no heart. This is a much watch. End of review.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is actually a rather enjoyable film, and I can say that with all honesty despite not being overly much a fan of neither Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. It is a combination of the storyline, the action and the acting that makes "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" work out so nicely.The storyline is about married couple John (played by Brad Pitt) and Jane (played by Angelina Jolie) who has been married for 5-6 years. They lead fairly mundane lives together, but individually they are both top trained agents. Things become very complicated for the couple as their respective agencies set them up to kill one another."Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is very fast paced, and the story does get up into high gear right from the very beginning, and it actually never slows down. And on that account, then you are in for a very enjoyable thrill ride.The characters in the movie are actually quite nicely detailed and fleshed out on the screen. And they are characters that you instantly take a liking to and that you feel connected to somehow. But a lot of credit does, of course, go to the actors and actresses in the movie, as they really put their heart and spirit into the movie.What really impressed me in this movie was the action sequences and the amount of action throughout the course of the movie. There was such an abundance of action to satisfy essentially everyone.I was more than thoroughly entertained by "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". And I can say that it is actually a movie that you can watch more than just once.

If you look at this film as merely another glitzy Hollywood spy thriller/spoof -- in the grand tradition of say OUR MAN FLINT or KINGSMAN -- then it is merely an "8". As in great writing, acting, direction, casting and generally a lot of fun.So far, so good.Here is the trick -- for viewers of the future, when we mere mortals have come and gone, but the IMDb lives on, this is better viewed as a time capsule.The two stars were, to under-state it -- at the peak of their fame and charisma. I recall from the time a survey which conclusively showed, for example, that Angelina was not merely the hottest woman in show business but possibly (these surveys tend to over-state) the hottest woman on the planet.(To be fair, they only surveyed living men. If the dead had also been allowed to vote, who knows, maybe Helen of Troy would have won?) And the Bradster was also at his peak.Once you understood the hidden and secret dynamic of the film, it becomes both iconic and classic, and will be entertaining viewers for a very very long time.(PS == watch Vince Vaughn before TRUE DETECTIVE, also of historical interest)
