Great ideas, bad script.

Rating: 7/10 (15 September 2006)

A regular man (Keanu Reeves) learns a shocking truth about the world and joins a rag tag group (Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Marcus Chong and more) to save it.
The Wachowski brothers are truly geniuses. Sadly, they lack in actual WRITING talents (IMO obviously) and it just didn't click. They did a fantastic job directing, but flopped in the script.
The actors are great, and Laurence's gap tooth defined his character for me, and the action scenes are the best in ages.
It just would have been better if the Wachowski brothers got some one else to write the script off of their ideas.
But enough of the script. This movie is far from bad. It's great fun in a group, you'll be on the edge of your seat, you'll have a blast.
And it was a little too long, too. Oh well, maybe I just can't enjoy a long movie no matter how good it is. But you'll enjoy this modern epic of suspense and action!
