[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 248593, member: 4106"] For me it was the lack of original plot (forget "good writing", I wasn't expecting that to begin with). Where do I begin? The absolutely predictably telegraphed plot twist? The British bad guy (Vinnie Jones version, not posh public school version)? The oh-so-predictable and totally uninteresting and unoriginal backgrounds of a couple of the supporting characters? The main character looking like he's not even out of high school yet?! The bizarre juxtaposition of doing Mythbusters-style explanation of how the DIY gadgets work, and the usual utterly incomprehensibly wrong action genre tropes and shortcuts (example: "that's only 10 minutes away" when in downtown San Franscisco typically means "that's 2 blocks away, it would be quicker to walk, forget about driving" not "some airfield on the outskirts of the city").
