"The wachowski's succesfully imitate George Lucas by showing complete disregard for dialogue, plot, character, acting and anything remoteley watchable."
"This film is clumsy (the use of colour is about as poetic and subtle as it is in 'the teletubbies'), Hammy (everyone has a tear rolling down their cheek for no discernible reason) and nonsensical."
