Winable. The plot is somewhat intresting but at the end not really surprising if you have seen alot of these movies. Tomb Raider gave Jolie expirence on what to do in these movies and this one shows that she still should be (and do another) Lara Croft.

I agree. It's a shame they didn't want her for the 3rd (Which they are allegedly working on to some degree now). She was MADE for the role, and the biggest failing of those movies were the scripts, which were not up to par.

Salt I thought was good, but the ending kind of left me wanting a lot more. It felt like it should have gone on for at least another hour. LOL Good film though.

I agree. I see Salt 2 in the future.

I didn't like it at all, the plot is so full of holes that it's impossible to really enjoy this movie. 4/10 (would be 3 if it wasn't for the good cast).

The plot is so full of hole or you simply did not follow the plot?

If you didnt, then yes I understand that it can be confusing.

I didn't say it was confusing, it's pretty straightforward, but it was just stupid. I don't know how enyone could believe that a modern intelligence agency would work the way that it has been pictured in the film. The plot is just pathetic IMHO.

Was it as bad as Tomb Raider where she could have just dropped one of the pieces in volcano which would have prevented the bad guys from putting it together but instead elected to hunt down and collect all the pieces?

I have a hard to believing that a woman as scrawny as Jolie can do action. It's like watching a starving Ethopian play an Olympic wrestler.

Actually the action sequences were quite good. My biggest issue with this movie is with the story,

Agreed about the whole Tomb Raider thing as she was perfect for those roles.

as far as 'Salt' though it was just OK for me as it's nothing i would really care to watch again which hurts it in the long run. so it's not something i would recommend. i give Salt a 6/10.

p.s. to the people above giving it a 4/10 etc... i disagree there because i pretty much won't give a film less than a 5/10 unless it's boring in general. there is other exceptions but if i find something boring ill typically give it a 3-4/10 range and Salt was not boring for sure.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
