I watch around one movie per day on average, and I liked it. I
think the people that didn't like it obviously had their hopes
set way to high. This movie was not intended to be on the same
level as a 2001, etc. The directors clearly stated in various
interviews and such that they were simply intending to meld the
best kung-fu/anime styles they could come up with into an
American live action film. Nothing really more. I'm sure if
they wanted to come up with some really super-intelligent story
they could. So you need to enjoy it on that level as a simple
action flick.
