If you can ignore the kinder-garden level political subtext you can enjoy it

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2006)

The movie is well executed from an Aesthetic point of view. The acting was great as well. I gave it a 4 though because the clichés just killed the enjoyment for me. I know that after Matrix 2 and 3 not much can be expected from the W. Brothers as far as script goes, and this film isn't as badly written as the latter two, still they attempt to add political subtext beyond subtle and the result is horribly stupid and clichéd.
!very minor spoiler! Collection of anti-governmental items that contains a combination of Gay and Muslim materials! Now I wonder which of the groups will be more insulted. Remembering that not long ago additional two teenager gays were hung in Iran which is ruled by Islam, I wonder why the W. Brothers while trying to express a political view couldn't bother to actually make a research on the matter. Speaking of gay oppression, I'm quite sure that even the most hardcore gay rights supporters will find that dedicating not one, but two key scenes in the movie to long and clichéd romance descriptions by secondary characters equals a booooring middle part of a film.
!end of the spoiler!
Well in a nutshell, technically good. The acting is good, as is the world (unlike the matrix). The W. Brothers still can't write neither a good script nor embed a worthy subtext in a way that won't be so damn clichéd and obvious that it brought tears to my eyes. With a script so poorly executed it's no wonder the original creator of the comic(alan Moore) asked his name to be removed from anything related to this film.
