To summarize the movie:
Vietnam movie ripoff scenes and music
Nostalgia scenes (first time we see the suitcase record player it's like 'oh yeah I had one of those'. second time it's like 'we get it, move on please')
Samuel L Jackson flat out sucking. The no-name actors did a better job.
Great CGI.
I think this movie was attempting to capture the odd but IMO succesful mix of humor and violence from the Jack Black Kong movie but failed miserably.

Isn't that normal?
