underrated by viewers

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2005)

it would seem most people that watched his movie in early screenings seem to miss the point, or just dislike this style of movie. I must say firstly, i've never read the comic, or even heard of it before this movie, but i found the movie most interesting, the characters well developed, and an ending not only that i could believe, but left enough that a sequel or two (Blade style) would be possible. Keanu is always going to come in for criticism for his acting, but i can't think of anyone better for this film (especially Nicolas Cage, as was first suggested). i haven't been this pleased with this genre of film since the original Crow movie.
