Bit surprised people had high expectations for the new Matrix film.
Did anyone have high expectations? I'm still hoping for enjoyable and not awful. Not exactly high. Last year's Bill and Ted delivered on that front.
Also I think Crouching Tiger was maybe more to blame for the wire work overload.

about 70% of his work is crap IMO.
He is not a great actor. I don't get why he always gets the same role in every film, when he wheels out the same stilted performance.
Particularly when he is actually quite good in films that he isn't an action figure (MOPI, Dangerous Liaisons, that recent one with Winona Ryder).

Bit surprised people had high expectations for the new Matrix film. The first one was great on first view but hasn't held up well, the sequels were total shite. Maybe i'm just slightly jaded as they spawned all the terrible physical actor wire work action sequences that plagued Hollywood until Bourne came along and nutted them all in the face. Also disagree with Keanu being generally solid. Like him, Love the first JW and Speed is still top 3 cinema trips for me but about 70% of his work is crap IMO.
