A mayor disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2000)

Maybe I just expected too much from this movie. I expected the ultracool Matrix-Feeling, a powerful mixture of suspense and coolness, a extremely good arrangement, cool modern music, styling and all that.
What I got was an average movie :-(
Well the looks are cool. But unlike the title and theme suggest, there are not many fights, and all coolness is, well, carelessly destroyed again and again. This movie is too calm, too friendly, to actor-centralized. The actors are very good, not to say ideal - but this movie lacks simply style. Not in the outfit, but in the way it was managed. This isn't really an action movie. It has the looks but it concentrates far too much on the characterization of the people, namely the mutants.
I'm very surprised that it gets that good comments here on IMDB. I had been very frustrated of this movie, and I all people I have asked said the same. I can't give a recommendation for anyone. Maybe people which didn't saw the Matrix before will be happy with this movie quality, but I'm not.
