The Wachowski brothers have gone downhill since the first Matrix movie.

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2006)

This is a trite movie that makes strong accusations within the first 5 minutes alone. The "godless" USA is supposedly responsible for creating war and an epidemic (AIDS, I gather). Though, this movie is set in the UK.
When V is introduced, he recites his 12th grade vocabulary from a dictionary that was probably supplied by the Wachowski brothers' mother.
They are trendy and try to wrap intellectual content around movies with the sophistication of Exit Wounds or Cradle 2 the Grave.
You can blame Joel Silver for part of this, but you'd better thank the Wachowski brothers for their incessant greed.
