Its great for what it is

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2005)

This movie is great for the special effects, the comic based plot, the acting of many supporting characters, and the fact that the only character Keanu plays well (the sort of Neo-esque troubled bad-ass) is a great fit in this movie.
Don't go to see this movie for drama or comedy, cuz that's just foolish.
Those that have some knowledge of the comics I imagine would enjoy it more since limited background is given. Ultimately, I went in curious to see what people were calling "an even more religious Matrix" and came out glad I saw it and planning on buying it on DVD eventually.
It is very Matrix-like in the sense of awesome special effects, Keanu playing a character who fights characters that are stronger than human, and some interesting fight scenes. But that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
