Good questions. The movie should resemble, in SOME way, the trailer that caused you to want to see it. You shouldn't have to check the credits and then literally look the movie up on IMDB to make sure that you aren't watching a copycat movie. You shouldn't be left feeling that they produced a great trailer, FIRST, and then threw together a shitty movie to steal people's money. The badguys should look better than a 1950s sci-fi. The special effects should be GOOD, not like an old Dr. Who episode. Grenade explosions should be larger in diameter than 4 feet. Want more?
I had no great expectations of acting or plot, but I did expect it not to FAIL MISERABLY at the small list of things it SHOULD have gotten right.
