I went to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith yesterday and I thought it was a great movie. The action sequences were outstanding and it had a nice comedic touch throughout the movie. The chemistry between Brad and Angelina was apparent and shown through quite nicely. Both actors worked well together and had a number of nice back and forth scenes. Also, Vince Vaughn was funny as hell, and I wanted to see more scenes with him in it. There are some nice in-jokes about the movies that both actors were in before that I think worked very well.
I think some people may see it because of the Pitt leaving Aniston for Jolie side angle. Unlike Proof of Life though, which had a similar side angle of one star leaving their spouse for the co-star, this movie brings the goods. You can see Brad and Angelina's attraction for one another throughout the movie. If we didn't know they had an off-screen romance you may have still suspected that something was going on.
The action sequences were outstanding with much Angelina firing shotguns and throwing knives, and Brad firing two guns at once and leaping around. The fight scene between them in the middle of the movie was an absolute beat down. I never seen a man beat a woman like that and then see the woman giving back 100% like in that scene. They went all out, no holds barred. I guess it is a tribute to both actors to make this brutal beat down not look as sickening as when Queen Latifa beat that woman in Bringing Down the House.
Finally, this movie has all kinds of sequel potential. Both actors did great in their roles and looked like they were having fun. They set up an interesting world with two powerful hitman agencies that still want the two main characters dead. They can have the Smiths breaking into the agencies and trying to take them out from the inside or something like that. Lots of high tech gadgets and Mission Impossible style crawling around in air vents. Basically, I just want to see more of the world they made for this movie.
