nothing I didn't expect; bad

Rating: 2/10 (7 July 2006)

Spoilers: nothing really extreme (i don't think)
Could have been much better. The Wachowski bros in my opinion lost their touch after the second matrix. This at least is better than that. I particularly hated the fact that they chose Hugo Weaving for the role of V. You can't have smith playing this role. That's his only role: Agent Smith. At least I think. Also, as an actor, I can't stand Nathalie Portman. For actors, no one was spectacular, but I like the guy who was always screaming like a madman, but I forget his name. He was the fascist everyone hated, I'll leave it at that.
On the political note: the pedophile priest was annoying and unnecessary as many other things were, but that one above most. The political attack that was made was weak and can easily be foiled by any other film or writer. Although I must admit the blowing up of Parliament at the end was quite a beautifully done scene cg wise. The end was just a little too much blood for me. I'll admit I don't mind it, but watching Hugo Weaving running around hacking people to huge bits of blood and gore was sort of boring and unnecessary once more.
All in all: Wachowski brothers-please learn the saying "Less is more".
