I know it doesn’t matter what I think, but I’ll write it down here anyway and if you’re interested you can read it:

I like the conceit of Rodriguez and Thingie The Basketball Player chatting about it, but it’s just another version of Good vs Evil, fifteen years on (check out the flaming pitch markers and orc-like group of opponents):

I just think with that budget and those stars they could have done something that wasn’t just a rehash of one of their old ads.
