Sure, there's an underlying plot and some other things, but Star Wars is, at its heart, popcorn serials.The upcoming movie, Stealth(which I've seen far too many previews of) is definitely NOT PG-13, but doesn't look to be anything more than an action filled popcorn movie.In fact, most popcorn movies are just action films, and I can't think of a SINGLE ONE that's PG. The rating doesn't tell us anything about whether its a popcorn movie or not.Actually, it was a man NEXT to the cop(who was wearing a hard hat, and I therefore assumed him to be a city worker) that mentioned the 'no water main' TO the cop, who simply agreed.But even then, look at thte SITUATION. Lightning(sans thunder) just struck multiple times in ONE SINGLE SPOT that created a large hole in the middle of the concrete street and now the electricity is dead. Obviously, the cop was doing his best to calm people and provide at least some form of authority, but one can only do so much in a situation like that. It was a man in a hard that who was conversing with the cop. Also, maybe you're problem is the usual "The didn't do it the way I wanted, so its therefore bad and wrong". The scene DID work. Maybe not for you, but you're just one person. Hell, this is just one website, and out of all the complaints I've seen from major reviews, etc, NO ONE says a single thing about "the cop wasn't doing his job just right".Its not something that is in any way important to the plot. The family needed to get to the ferry. THAT was important. So, who cares whether we see them refuel the car or not? Not all areas were hit by the EMPs, so its not hard to assume(which is something very common in movies, especially with such minor things like this) that gas was dealt with.Again, there's nothing at all wrong with not liking the movies. And yes, there are tons of little inconsistencies in there(most notably the boy surviving and why there was always a clear path to drive on), but if those really ruined the movie for you...where you expecting a documentery and not fiction? There's a limited time for these movies, and you can only show what's important to the overall story.Now, whether we agree or not on what is important is the key, of course. But, in the end, the person with the decision is the director. If you think you can do better, go do it and see how you fair. And really, if you look at any movie with the scrutiny you're nailing WotW with, you'll find tons of inconsistencies to tell the story. Its PART of storytelling. Always has happened, always will.</blockquote>
