Makes both Matrix sequels look like crap.

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2006)

Not that they weren't to begin with...
But wow. Just got back from this... and I loved it. Absolutely loved it.
Before you pre-judge my review, I hated the first one. I found it to be a typical Disney blockbuster... and I just couldn't find enjoyment in it (with the exception of Depp). This one, however, brought me into this series.
I shan't go on about the plot... as... well, it's hard to explain, and not worth spoiling.
Lets just do a quick checklist, shall we?
Depp? Check.
Knightly? Check.
Special effects comparable to Peter Jackson's King Kong's? Check.
Super bad ass enemies that make you sick to look at? Check.
Disney clichés? Somewhat, but not enough to make you sick.
Undead monkey? Check.
So there we have it. Perfect summer blockbuster that is of "modern classic" proportions. I was actually surprised at how amazing this movie is.
Don't expect an average action movie... but, then don't expect to feel secure at the end. Hint hint.
