I duno, Tom Cruise used to be great, but hes EVERYWHERE nowadays and hes starting to grate on my nerves... because of that and that alone I really have no desire to see this movie

What happened in the first five minutes should really have happened in the end of the movie.  

JJ Abrams does that occasionally with Alias episodes. And if you've watched Alias lately, there was an episode where a character had a bomb in his head, too. It's just JJ's style.

The first five minutes WERE (mostly) also later in the movie. The point was to create tension right off the bat, and I don't really disagree with the choice.

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

SPOILER

It made the bad guys speech in the aircraft so much more nasty - because your KNEW he would make good on the promise. I think it helped a lot of dialogue that otherwise might not have been quite as good much more powerful, make the viewer say 'oh crap, listen to him Ethan'.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
