even though I seemed to like it a bit more than you, all of this is the criticisms I have. I got past some of them, but I agree it easily could have been shortened as well.
I wasn't too happy about the Bruce Lee part either. I get what the point was but yeah other than using Lee because he was around in the 60s, they could have used almost anyone to make Pitt's character seem like a badass. Of course, yes using Lee makes it even more spectacular for the premise. While it didn't ruin the movie for me obviously, i won't lie and say I didn't roll my eyes at the whole thing.
