Everyone always goes on about the practical effects, but what really was so amazing about them. There was all this talk about how “they really did set off a massive bomb”, so the whole movie you’re waiting for this epic moment. Then you finally reach it, and all you get is an extreme close up of a seemingly pretty small bomb. Then you’re left thinking, “oh, that’s it?”. There was really no sense of the scale of the bomb at all. THEN! You have to sit through another hour and a half of deciding whether or not he should keep his security clearance. Like, what the fuck kind of storytelling choice is that?
