Angelina Jolie - Salt Opens Today

I first mentioned Salt back in August of 2008, and now almost two years later we finally get to see Angelina Jolie's completed project.

Salt opens today but yesterday, Angelina, director Phillip Noyce, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and co-star Liev Schreiber showed up at the Salt panel at Comic-Con in San Diego.
I think this may have been her first Comic Con appearance.

So far critics have been fairly positive about the films....
Rotten Tomatoes reports that 56% of 95 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 5.9 out of 10.
Metacritic gave it a rating score of 64 based on 34 reviews.
Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter liked it, as did Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert and Karina Mitchell of CBS News.
Both said it was cartoony violence and action, but it worked.
Oddly, a lack of CGI seems to be praised quite a bit.
Avatar backlash?

So now everyone seems to be looking forward to The Tourist (with Johnny Depp) and Cleopatra is already generating a lot of buzz.
