Sorry guys Not saying anything about anyone who liked it though
Aw, no need to feel sorry for your opinion! But...do you mean the movie offended you in someway? If that's the case...I'm sorry to hear it I think I can relate to that feeling somehow because I'm Mexican and I've had to stomach too much movies portraying Mexicans only in one stereotypical way, as if there wasn't anything else...


Man, I really need to watch this film to have an opinion about it, lol. August 6th, where are you?' lol.

Hmm, well honestly, I'm used to Russians being portrayed in American movies as the bad mafia people, you know, but this movie kinda took it to another level, so I don't think it offended me as much as it pissed me off...because I'm honestly used to it and I can usually overlook it or just get really annoyed, but this one just merely pissed me off Sorry for the rant, lol

I didn't really go in thinking about that cause I'm not russian. But if you are Russian, I could see how it could be taken offensively. The only defense I could say is that every movie needs a villain

That's true, haha, and I'm honestly used to Russians being the villains in movies, but idk I just thought this movie was too over the top with that..

I LOVED this movie. I had my doubts but I thought it was super cool.

As for how Russians were portrayed...yeah, I wonder. This movie probably gave people so many ideas on how to mess up the government too with all the president and bunker stuff. Plus it does make you wonder about global conspiracies but the way they made the Russians the root of the problem.. the portrayal was taken to a messy level. As a Latina I understand. I'm not Mexican but dang the way all Latinos are portrayed stereotypes us all.

ITA with that. Stereotypes are a bitch aren't they? All my friends know not to tell me any Russian/Communist jokes, lol.

The world is filled with stereotypes that are just down right ridiculous.

Judging by the trailers for this movie, Angelina definitely delivers. I'll be surprised if this movie is short of good.

saw the movie last night and loved it
would've been more unexpected/refreshing to see Salt actually go through with the plan

Just gone in from seeing it. While I don't think it's a bad movie, I've seen better. I just think it tried too hard.

I thought it was a good move, Angelina was really good in the role and I like the little twists to the movie

I liked the open ending
