Gemini man, Clone of Gemini man Clive Owen man, Clive Owen man Clive Owen man clones more clones of Gemini man They have a fight, The Geminis win Clive Owen man This song worked weirdly well for the plot of Gemini Man. Less is more, right! On to the Action Movie Showdown Breakdown!

 

1 – Double Smithery – 5/10 – It may just be me, but I still think that Will Smith can carry a movie. However, I am not sure that adding a non-Fresh Prince CGI faced Will Smith adds to that. 2 – Face Graphicry – 3/10 – It's almost there, but it's just not there. 3 – Action Snipering – 5/10 – What Gemini Man did well, was the one on one Sniper battles between the two Smiths. They were tense, cool, and pumped you up. The problem was, they were sparse as the movie preferred the drama of CGI clones to the action. 4 – Getting Wiggy With it – 4/10 – I feel the writers may have thought the sci-fi clone angle was a lot more interesting on paper than it turned out on-screen. Even the characters in the film weren't all that surprised learning about illegal human cloning. 5 – They Might be Prophets – 8/10 – Gemini Man's plot fits neatly into the lyrics of They Might Be Giant's "Particle Man," which may feel like a useless thing to rate a movie over, but trust me, it's not.

 

Bonus Round +1 For Sniper vs. Sniper hijinx

 

Final Score – 25 + 1 = 26/50


Huzzah! After the first two subpar scores, Gemini Man represents the first movie in the Action Movie Showdown to score above fifty percent! It's a Fresh Price miracle!
