I went to this film expecting a lot of action, with a little bit of a revolution/anti-government storyline. What I got was a lot of revolution/anti government and a little action. Now I'm sure I have already been red-flagged so I might as well say that personally I enjoyed the dialouge and exchange of ideas that the film presented, and the action was just right, kind of like Little Bear's porridge. This film reminded me somewhat of the first Matrix film (suprise) in that it used its visual presentation to emphasise and build upon the story.
Personally I think that durring this moment in history, while the government and the citizens are rushing to trade in their freedoms for the promise of security, it is great that a movie like this can be made. You'll have to ask me more about this in person, because seriously there are red flags popping up on my desktop right now. What I really should say is that it is important that Michael Moore puts out his crap, as well as other filmmakers putting out films like V for Vendetta and Curious George, and Mission Imposssible 3. In America, Hollywood can lie to us, make us think, entertain us and our children. Let us never let the terrorists win, and have us all watching "approved" films in well-lit theaters, only on odd-numbered days, starring people like Ben Affleck, please never let this happen!

Reruns of Forces of Nature every tuesday.
So, I went to see this flick last weekend. It was sunday night. The movie was different from what I expected. The diologue was very well done, kindof like a Cohen brothers film. Than, I had to leave the theater at the start of what I imagine was the climax, because my "friend" who was my ride, had to go to work. So now I guess that I'll have to make a second trip this weekend.
That knife fight at the end was killer. And Hugo Weaving's the man!
However, I thought the movie itself was somewhat adolescent in the presentation of it's (non) ideas. As one critic put it, the movie was like Rage Against the Machine, by the Machine.
