Why is this low on score?


I'm reading the top user reviews and it seems just fine, but why is it getting rated a 6.something? I think everything Keanu Reeves touches, gets downvoted.

They are jealous because they are not 'the one'.

reply

Keanu Reeve isn't 'the one', Jet Li is 'the one'. Keanu is the anomaly.

Say all you want, but neither of them are The Chosen One. Only Chosen One is The Chosen One.

Keanu Reeve isn't 'the one', Jet Li is 'the one'. Keanu is the anomaly.

Glitch in the matrix?

reply

Apparently I was wrong, he's also referred to as the one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(The_Matrix) If you look Neo up in Wikipedia you'll see in the sidebar that The Anomaly is a nickname the machines gave Neo. The One is Neo's title and his occupation.

reply

Actually the "one" is also a name the machines gave Neo!
He was "designed" & "controlled" by a false prophecy.. manipulated from birth to make the designed choice of returning to the source!
And even when he refused, the events guided him eventually to "go to the source.. Machine City 01", reloading the Matrix System just as the machines wanted all along!

reply

Who is more to blame for Justin Bieber? If it wasn't for the good old USA, no one outside of London, Ontario would have heard his name.

reply

And when are they going to apologize for Senator Ted Cruz.

For those of you who don't know, he caused the US's government shut down.

reply

But... but... is Keanu Reeves

reply

Because it's simply a bad flick (seen it myself).

reply

Well, 6.something is about right. I like this movie. It's pretty fun to watch. But it's 6.7-6.8 for me and I don't have any problem with Keanu.

One thing that bothers me though. Haters whined about all the fantasy elements in this movie. Don't they know there's this little website called YouTube where they can watch trailers before spending their time and money on movies ???

reply

I rated this 5/10 due to atrocious editing.

Seriously, this had one of the worst editings I've ever seen.

reply

This, felt like watching a soap opera.

reply

Heh, youtube is not a little website for about 10 year now :)

Really dude? Most worthless post, ever! Do you have no comprehension of something called sarcasm?

reply

I do. But looks like you have no comprehension of smth called 'humor' and more surprisingly looks like you've never seen ':)', you know, a symbol that hints it was a joke.

reply

That is just it, some of the most active people on the boards are Keanu haters, and they love to post negative stuff about him on the boards and are first in line to vote and lower the scores on his films. They are rabid about it, it seems.

I liked it. I think it's a movie I can rematch again without feeling forced. The Last Samurai was also a good film but I didn't find it had great replay value as I tried watching it again some years later and could not finish it.

Bias be told, I do prefer Keanu over Tom Cruises' acting but that's really not much of an endorsement.

47 was really good with Sanada as pretty much the lead. I was a bit let down on the use of CG effects or lack thereof. From the trailers, it seemed like they were using a lot of it to fight demons and witch craft. All in all, very pleasant film. I think the girl in TLS was really good though; the story and the relationship but more from the actor who played the grieving wife really sold it for me. I think also the fact that 47 Ronin was spoken almost completely in English detracted some points from an otherwise very good film. If they did it equal balance of English and Japanese like TLS did, I would rate this much higher but as it is, I'd say it's a solid 7 to 7.5 for what it is. That said, on first viewing, TLS to me scored very high. I'd say 9 for sure, but the fact that I said it has little replay value doesn't factor in to my score. I think a film should stand on its merit to compel and sell itself upon first impression and TLS was very good so a solid 9. I mean a movie like The Big Lebowski is a great movie I've watched and rewatched probably 100 times but I would not say it's a perfect 10. It's all context, really

reply

Because it is *beep* terrible.
