Movie critics usually give low grades to action movies and kids movies.

Gay cowboys? They LOVE that genre.

because he had more balls than you


Brigger balls then me.. I am not sure I am not a homosexual and I don't stare at other man's junk.. If you mean Bravery, may I remind you that there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Since he is fucking DEAD I think he definetly wasn't brave, just stupid and naive.

I know one thing. He definetley had a lot less brains then me. I did survival training in Canadian wilderness and I definetley managed better then that fool. I did forest survival in Kananaskis country for a month and a half and then I did Tundra survival for 2 months.. What kind of fucking moron buys a .22 caliber to go into the wilderness. What kind of bullshit did they show him taking down a moose with a 22 caliber rifle.. I couldn't stop laughing.. I was glad he fucking starved to death at the end. One less fucking moron on earth.

Oh and sorry about Hippy.. Hippie. Fucking grammar/spelling nazis.

When razzing someone about their lack of brainpower, one might at least spot-check the words that are automatically underlined in red by the spell checker.

But spellcheck wouldn't catch that he used "then" instead of "than." Perhaps he just shouldn't call attention to the speck of dust in another's eye.

It's laughable how we could go on and on with this! But, I don't want to be a "nazi." Much. Very Happy

I thought the movie did its predicessor justice. There were a lot of themes included from the original series. The mother, however, was never in any fight scenes in the animated version. The Wachowski brothers pulled it off but I was surprised that it only pulled in $20 mil in the U.S. Kudos to Rain who also did a good job. The story was left open for a sequel.

There is no way there will be a sequel. Not with 20 mil in the box office.
You have to realize most English speakers hate stupid epilepsy causing colors and graphics.

Thank god Tranformers were never done like the cartoon.

Im not gonna say it was a terrible movie but I was very dissappointed. Ironman on the other hand was surprisingly good.
