Absolutely Spectacular! Must See!

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2006)

Two thumbs way up! The Wachowski brothers did it again. I never read the comics, and I was IMPRESSED, and entertained. This movie is a must see for action movie fans, and also people who like thought provoking movies. To my surprise, a good one I must say, the movie had a lot of depth to it. Interesting treatment of some very very relevant socio-political issues; something that you would not normally expect from a movie based on comics. I loved the execution of the action sequences, of course, with the Wachowski brothers trademark depiction of detail, which raises the scenes to a level of their own. But then again, it seems that you shouldn't expect less when you got the Wachowski brothers and Joel Silver (producer: The Matrix) as producers on this one. James McTeigue, the main man, the director, was an assistant director on all 3 Matrix movies, as well as Star Wars Episode II. This is probably his debut as a main director, and I'm sure there is a lot of good things ahead of him, after his superb execution on this one. To sum it up, top notch plot, action, and a whole lot of depth to this movie, all executed perfectly. BRILLIANT!
