Everyone says that if you didn't like this movie then it's because you didn't understand it.
Well, I did understand it, it's not too complicated to grasp, and yet I still didn't like it.
The fight scenes are really hip and entertaining and all well and good, but the dialogue is mind-numbingly repetitive, mostly pointless and always annoying. They just keeping going on and on about fate and choice and not much else. Most scenes involve a person standing here (or sitting) and another person standing there (or sitting) and discussing fate and choice. In the next scene they just use different words. It's tiresome. On top of this, the acting isn't so hot either. Then the final fate/choice scene just involves a guy using fancier words; you can some up what he actually says in about 30 seconds.
I don't know about you, but I've been able to figure out the paradox of fate and choice just fine by myself, and I don't need this movie to tell me it's rather uncreative and unoriginal ideas about it....especially not over and over and over again.
I really like the actual story-line, don't get me wrong, it is interesting, I want to see where they go with it, and the fight scenes are fantastic. However, I just wanted the movie to end...and it wouldn't. NEVER did I want either 'Lord of the Rings' movies to end....but they did.
Overall, it's an okay flick. They should have cut out about 30 minutes of dialogue and it would have been better. It is worth seeing, though, because maybe the third movie will be better made then this one.
