The story is weak pittbulll, but really, the main point was the VISUAL effects. That’s all this movie was ever supposed to do: wow people with how crazy it looks. The character development/dialogue isn’t too bad, but it is nothing special. The plot is basic: blue aliens vs. bad mercenaries, good vs bad in this case. James Cameron knew this, but again, the main point of the movie was to enter cinema into a new world of technology on the screen.[/quote]

This movie was written by an idiot. There isn’t one original thought in the entire thing. Oh sure it looks good… But its an empty shells.
What really pissed me off though is the use of White men and the military as the bad guys. Is JC unaware that,GULP…the military DOES WHAT the Congress and the C-in-C tell us to? Is he unaware that the, mostly DEMOCRATIC, Congress VOTED TO GO INTO IRAQ?
I guess that idiot Bush just fooled everyone, right?
Fuck him.[/quote]
First of all, I have not seen this movie.
I do know a very conservative republican family who went to see this movie, and two of the older kids felt exactly like you do. They were angry that the humans were the bad guys, and outraged about what the director might be saying about America.
I think it’s very odd that some people are taking offense to this movie, and that you in particular are making this to be an attack against republicans. From what I understand, the movie is a statement about the patterns and trends of humanity, not about failures of a particular political party. There’s absolutely no denying that as a race humans have been violent, destructive, and have lived beyond sustainable limits. After all, America was built by the gradual eradication of the culture and population of the American Indian. From my point of view it seems like you’re having trouble facing the truth.
I think I’ll wait 'til it comes out on blue ray, that way I can get drunk as hell and forget most of the movie if I think it’s gay.
Of course, I am one of the few people on the planet that hated the shit out of the Matrix. The philosophy 101 garbage they tried to pass off as “deep thought” was just to stupid for me take. I shut it off.

I watched the Matrix for the kung fu.
Did I err?[/quote]
I didn’t mind the Philosophy 101 of the first Matrix… it was the other two that really killed it for me.
I didn’t like the crap spewed in ‘V for Vendetta’, either.
