I really don't get what all the fuzz is about...

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2001)

I can't seem to understand why people find this move so exceptionally good. I had problems staying awake due to the in my opinion very slow pace of the story. Sure, the scenery was great, but that doesn't make up for not carrying the story forward. I wasn't sure whether I should laugh or cry when I saw the so-called amazing fighting-scenes, people running up and down walls etc, so obviously held up by ropes. The special effects looked more like some old Bruce Lee movie in my opinion! And why did they cover the actors with flour or something in the fighting scenes? Those puffs of dust when they hit each other only looked stupid! The special effects are beeing compared to the ones in 'The Matrix' all the time, but at least they looked cool in that movie, in this they only look stupid and cheap.
No, I really don't understand why this movie has gotten so much attention... But I suppose it may have something to do with well-known actors and directors...
