It'll make a lot of money for a mediocre movie.

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

I was optimistic that this movie was going to be good. Instead the movie was only somewhat entertaining; lacking any real substance of any kind other than a fruitless love story. It was a standard Hollywood movie with generic ingredients to make it run for its two hours. I won't ruin the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it yet with many details about what happens in the movie, but it doesn't really matter because anything I say won't ruin it further.
For the action folks who are gung-ho about "action action action", this movie has some slow parts which could have been skipped in order to get the "action action action" feel out of it. I'm torn between whether more substance would have been better, or if less effort putting substance in an awkward manner and focusing more on action and shortening the movie would have been better. That may be a bad idea though, due to the fact that the action gets mind-numbingly dull towards the end.
A theme of love and that it is forever binding, and with love you can do anything is more an annoyance than well done to any extent - they should have just saved this for the Matrix Musical, because it really gets in the way. I don't hate Trinity, she is just annoying and how people act who are in love are like "Merv" said - Insane. I'm not dissing romance movies, because there are love stories I like; this is not one of them.
The action gets mind-numbingly dull towards the end of the movie, where you see a lot of the stuff you've probably seen before. The "Superman" battle is much akin to a "Real-life" Dragon Ball Z (which I've never been a big fan of). Its all very boring. A willing suspension of belief is an absolute necessity when watching, and maybe I was not in the mood/mode to believe whatever they threw on screen.
I was stoked to go see this movie, but was slapped in the face with something that could have been something else. There are definitely parts I liked, laughed at, and enjoyed, but for the most part it was too generic to be anything but mediocre. I'd give it a 6/10.
