The boy who plays the lead is... actually I have no idea who he is.

James McAvoy

Do yourself a favor. Don't bother with this movie. Stay home and watch The Matrix again.

Can I read Hobbes' Leviathan instead or will I have to give a book report on it like I did in college?

James McAvoy has a big female fan base.

Two of his films are playing on HBO - Last King of Scotland (intense film) and Rory O'Shea Was Here (pretty amazing indie film where he plays a young Irish paraplegic. I was impressed.)

My 16 year old daughter thought it was awesome, for what it's worth. And considering kids her age go see a lot of movies, it is worth a lot.

We saw WALL-E last night....the first overtly political (save the earth) PIXAR movie. and the most disappointing.

Our erstwhile Neo is approached by a Trinity-like vixen who drags him through a wild chase and then takes him to meet Morgan (our Morpheus) Freeman.

Indigo Montoya says "I do not thinka that word meansa what ju think it means".

Ersatz.

We saw it yesterday, and it was just good, mindless FUN. Sorry, but if I went for deep meanings in movies, I’d never go to anything. But there was lotsa gratuitous shooting, car chase scenes and too many people with G-d complexes deciding who lives and who dies.

My biggest problem was the way they treated the rats, but that’s just me.

Aside from Morgan Freeman’s silly rant before the climax, it left out much of the usual “Leftist/Marxist Government=GOOD, Right-wing, gun-toting, knuckle-dragging corporate weenies=BAD” that is infesting everything out of Holly-weird these days.

"The Wanted"?

Before you review a movie, make sure you get the title right.
