"It has everything it needs to be a successful movie; cute dog, love, murder, revenge, bullets, fast cars, and a story." - my dad.

"It was good." - my mom, in her limited views.

I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. I walked in hoping and fully expecting a good film, with a well thought out story, enhanced by an excellent cast and fantastic choreography. I left fully satisfied, a bit more once I saw the ending.

In some ways - because his films are so hard to compare - I think it's some of Keanu's best work ever. Emotional, ferocious with fully crazy eyes, cool and precise, funny with that very dry humor, a fully formed character. I will be terribly disappointed if we don't get a prequel and maybe, possibly a sequel.

By the way, I don't think i'm giving anything away that hasn't been in trailers etc when I say that I could see (I think) EVERY "virtual Neo" in Reloaded (and that bothered me) but I can't see - so far - ANY cuts in the fights at ALL. Given that there are no fewer and probably a lot more than 5? 6? major fights, all of which are LONG, that's amazing. My humble opinion is that Keanu now DOES do stunts.

This is CINEMA. It has all the badassedness of Clint Eastwood plus Keanu's particular style and vulnerability. Chad and Dave did a brilliant job. The cinematography is gorgeous. The score is great. The Marilyn Manson song is...a Marilyn Manson song. OK for what it is, but I'm not a huge fan. The actors throughout are excellent. A wonderful film.

Friendly advice - the thing with the dog is MUCH harder than I'd even expected, animal lovers take note.

I'm loving the reactions on IMDb too! So happy that people are able to relate and travel with the character! Arghh wish it was 14th Nov already!

Keanu: Well, first of all, I don't think they'd fight. Yeah... yeah, they'd go out for noodles or something. You know, they'd get some ramen, and then if someone came and started some trouble between them, I... I... that would be bad.

No, Neo would probably be like, "John, man, what are you doing? It's okay, man. I can handle this. We don't have to hurt anybody." And Wick would just be, "...step aside."

Q: So Neo would be more, uh, calm.

K: Yeah, Neo, Neo... yeah... yeah, he's like more of a philosopher.

I like how Keanu just wrote fic right there. :'D

(the rest of the time.com review continues in the same tone. )

... that is exactly the kind of reviews that make Sad Keanu sad and me want to punch something. Anything. Preferably smug stupid journos.

To answer Mme Renard's question from a few pages ago: looks like it will never end.
He gets stellar reviews for JW, Deadline Hwood calls them 'decent' and goes on croaking about how it will never make box office. Other reviewers slam the movie's script and premise, if they can't slam his acting. It's always something. Always an attempt to knock him down. Somehow. No matter how. As long as it's there.

... it's not easy bein green, indeed. :|

I'm not married, but I've often thought and said that if I met a gentleman who was not all that physically attractive to me who had many of Keanu's fine personality qualities, I'd marry him in a heartbeat. Modesty, humility, caring about others, gentleness, hardworking, kind, thoughtful, playful - these are not typical characteristics for a movie star (and why he doesn't want to be a "movie star" in my opinion).

The left-handed Virgo thing might not work so well for me in a long-term relationship, since I'm a bull-headed Taurus and at least as stubborn, but I really don't think I need to worry about that.
I do think he'd be an AWESOME friend.

Thank heavens that he is exactly how he is - I think he is aware that many of us revel in that Keanu-ness!

and Anakin! OMG! Keanu writes Keanuspawn! now you have to write Keanu writing Keanuspawn - there's a plot bunny for you!
SQUEEEE!

Agree, MmeRenard! Keanu is such an inspiration! <3 :)
If he were a movie, he'd be 110% on my personal RT! ;)
Meanwhile, I envy all of you who had a chance to see JW in theaters! :D
