Definitely one of my favorite movies of this year. The Wachowski Bros are quite talented.

I just saw it and personally I loved the shit out of it
I'd say it's a daring film to make as it breaks a lot of moviemaking taboos (for instance the "hero" being a knife fighter and having some decidedly evil traits) and had quite some clever and often disturbing angles to present-day issues, but remained nothing other than a spectacular piece of entertainment if you want to.
Of the last dozen or so movies I saw for the first time, this one was best.
I loved it, and if you haven't seen it and you like dramatic action with a whiff of politics, do so 
I had read that some audiences were cheering the movie while it played, and I dismissed that as hype, but I can really see that happening

I was worried it was going to be one of those pearly white toothpaste grin type of superhero movies. Nothing of the sort! Damn I'm still riled up by it

Cool.. I usually do the whole p2p movie downloading thing as just about every movie is put on them when they are new. Problem is that my computer with plenty of HD space is temporarily down until I get a part fixed. The HD on this one is far too tiny for me to even dl movies on here.

The only people I know that didn't enjoy this movie were movie goers like your self that only enjoy action. Personally I love a great story with compelling dialogue. So In my opinion this movie was great. Not the best film ever by any means but, truly one of the better movies that came out this year.
I don't really understand action buffs. Don't get me wrong I love action films as much as the next guy but, It does require a good dialogue for me to find interest in it

ahhh i have to reply to that
coming into that movie, after paying 9 bucks, i was stoked (and stoned as hell) to see the W. bros 4th film
yeah it was shot well and looked cool but the story and dialogue of the dictator and his cabinet was waaaaaay too drawn out, i mean that shit carried on for almost 2 hours
the opening scene is awesome with the explosions and the fight seen at the end was pretty killer, but that was everything
that and a bunch of bullshit talking about shit that wont ever happen

I really enjoyed the film. I'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out. It's not often you hear a Julie London tune in a film anymore...

Don't give the Wachowski Brothers too much credit, their most famous films were made from illegally stoled copyrighted fiction, and this film was based upon someone else's work.
