Lame is a matter of opinion. I don't agree that your/their explanations are good and correcting military to company does not really answer the point.

>You want them to be lame, so you don't think them through, don't call out a movie for your own fault.

Jake's motivations to me seemed unrealistic. Everything about the plot to me felt weak. I liked the first one, too. You asked people to elaborate in another comment and now you are obviously taking offense.
