I see where you're coming from now, more explosions, more car chases, how about instead of Tom Hanks we had Arnold or Sylvester play the role, that would of been different.

I think they could have accomplished everything in 90 minutes (tops). I think the audience is quite capable of getting the message of how bad it was in 90 minutes. There was no need to stretch out the violence and make it 130 minutes.
You know how they sometimes say, "too much of a good thing can be bad?" Well, in this case, "too much of a bad thing makes for a bad movie."
