Severely undecided...

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2003)

For the first fifteen hours I was sitting in the cinema, I was considering leaving, which I have never done before. I thought the plot was dragging and uninteresting, the acting was disappointing and there was nothing epic about it at all.

During the fighting scenes, I found myself getting increasingly angry. I thought it was gratuitous and done mainly for effect. I also didn't think the world needed to see images of people in downtown Manhattan covered in dust and blood. But his message did become clearer to me in the final shot, which did make me cry. Yet I still cannot decide if the intensity of the violence was necessary to proving his ideology. All I do know is that this was not the epic I was expecting.
