Good, but not THAT good

Rating: 6/10 (15 March 2003)

I'd like to set the record straight, even though this isn't "official" or anything, I'd like to clear up the fact that this movie is not all that its cracked out to be. Yes it's a very good movie, but all the hype it's gotten has just ruined it. Yes, the special effects are incredible, and the plot is very unique, and the action scenes are good, and the acting is surprisingly good for this type of film. But this movie is only so well liked because people like violence. And for those who don't like it, the fact that a violent movie is actually good for once causes one to overlook the violence and appreciate the movie for what it is. Whereas the young audience just wants to see people get blown up. Most people would like this movie, so if you haven't seen it, see it, because you'll probably like it, but don't appreciate it for the violence as most people do, appreciate for what it is.
