rmdit's not an accurate adaptation of the comic. so don't go in expecting one.
on the other hand, i rather enjoyed it. it was more of a standard hero-storyline plot than the comic, but i'm not sure that's not a good thing for a the motion picture format.
the wachowskis wrote it -- i thought they'd directed it, but apparently not. however, their touch is evident -- some of the fight scenes were totally matrix-style. and one scene with rain falling reminded me of the shot in "the matrix" where bullet casings are falling like rain.
so, yeah, the plot is substantially different, but i think many of the important parts are still there, shaped into a more movie-ish thing that is enjoyable.
in other, completely unrelated news, the spammers finally found a subject line for mail that i'd actually open at work. "VNC installed". i'm expecting to start getting spam with subject lines like "Quarterly Solaris patching update" or something.

Date: 2006-03-17 02:25 pm (UTC)i didn't actually look at a cast list, so i didn't know going in that weaving was in it. and then he started talking and i figured it was either weaving or someone doing the same "i'm going to talk like a wachowski and overenunciate" thing. then i was sure it was hugo.
(there was some directors commentary i listened to - maybe for bound? - that had one of the wachowskis talking and sounding *just* like agent smith.)
