If it wasn't for the special effects, I would have left the theater in the middle of the film. I mean, this is one of those films whose dialogue is so lame, you just want to tell the actors to stop talking and start fighting. I thought Hugo Weaving was going to be good, until I got sick of the way he was talking. The Wachowski brothers should have made him into a silent character, one who does everything but talk. The special effects were spectacular, but I have to say the action scenes, especially when the actors were shooting at each other, were really unnecessary. When Keanu Reeves was firing his weapons, he was always in slow-motion. It's like watching a Hong Kong action film that has only Hollywood actors. This film should only be watched by people who are EXTREMELY fond of special effects.
