Wise cracks galore!

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2005)

After reading the many reviews here. I am seriously baffled by how everyone is dissing the movie. It seriously seems to me that everyone commented on how Keanu suck for the sake of commenting... Truth is, i truly enjoy Keanu's performance. His sarcastic remarks and wise cracks really got me tickled and laughing. His performance was really commendable. I would never have imagined another person in this role.(I did not read the original comic) The other characters were super too. Rachel Weisz was good(I am sorry, i don't share the extreme views of her being really great and stuff). But i somehow think that if she wasn't so serious, it would be a whole lot better. Tilda Swinton(Gabriel) was hilarious, i totally love her serious look when she wise cracks. The one thing that bothered me was each character seem to be 2-dimensional... like Lucifer, seems so conveniently planted there at the end to serve as a happy ending.
The CGI and dialog makes up a really good movie. Helps with great cinematography and directions. There are a lot of loop holes though... there were a few things that went unexplained and therefore baffled viewers. Can anyone explain to me... HOw does the half-breeds come to this world? And there were facts that were distorted rite? Great movie.... I watched it twice. I admit it could have been better. BUt i Definitedly enjoyed it better then matrix or LOTR.
