I say that because it didn't add ANY value to the movie except for a entertaining twist. They already shoved the message of live in the now practically every scene, then they throw that ending in there because its a great twist no one saw coming and fits with there message. Like I said I think it would have been fine, if they had not already shoved that message in your face the last 90 minutes. They took a tragic moment in American history and used it as a ploy to make there movie seem AMAZING when its just average.
Really dont see how it shoves the message in your face that much in the first place even. But ok.

The main Protagonist [Gru] is basically the 2nd greatest Supervillain ever (he has to be seeing as there are no superheroes in the movie's setting... more on this later...) trying to become the Greatest via a big heist.
He's stolen the Times Square Jumbo Tron screen, the Statue of Liberty (from Las Vegas) and the Eiffel Tower (also from Las Vegas) but he needs MORE.
In comes the movie's MacGuffin: A top-secret shrink ray developed by East Asian (read: CHINA) scientists.
Gru plans to use the Shrink Ray to acquire the biggest thing he can think of... THE MOON.
Throughout the rest of the movie, Gru adopts 3 kids from a local orphanage, fights with the #1 Supervillain (again, no Superheroes here because despite the mass chaos and explosions created by these two... no one dies or gets seriously injured enough to be put out for more than a day), and learns that being a good person/great Dad is better than what he wanted in the first place.
Go see it, even if you have no kids/little relatives to see this with.
Predators - *** Stars.
A group consisting of some of Earth's deadliest killers are shipped off to an alien planet to be used as game for someone (or something) worse than them.
Everyone dies horribly except Adrian Brody and the Spanish Chick from the first Predator movie.
Laurence Fishbourne plays the part originally meant for Arnold Swartzenegger had he not gone on to make shitty movies and become the Governor of California.
You can skip this one if you can't afford to see it right now but it's worth a look otherwise.

I think Predators looks pretty damn awesome. I think I'm going to go check it out this weekend.
