I had low expectations coming in. The movie did what it was supposed to do. Like you say, it could have used an explosion or two more. Also, they should have worked in a bit of Craig's experience, the kind which allowed him to totally go James Bond in the opening scene.
As far as it goes, I liked how Favreau changed the 'bad rancher' into something a little different. The action sequence near the end had a lot to be desired, at least in timing the different shots so that continuity wouldn't falter into the, it just took that alien 20 seconds to cover the amount of ground which they have been shown to cover in about 2 seconds. Ya know?
anyway, I'm not sad that I saw it, but a little dissappointed that I caved into the summer's crap offerings with this movie.
