2008 re-make/re-imagining of the 1951 original, with Keanu Reeves - who I felt would be perfect for this role - playing the alien Kla'atu.

Unfortunately, the majority of the film is slow and plodding, with no real connection between Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, with a (very young) Jaden Smith playing a kid who just deserves a good slapping, and with the anti-war stance of the original replaced with an environmental message instead (that's neither good nor bad, just an observation).

One that I may watch on TV if nothing else on, but not one I would be going out of my way to look for or even make time to sit down and view.

Keanu Reeves is always a crowd please. The inclusion of Iko Uwais in this film made it a must see for me.

It is quite startling to see national treasure Keanu in an unfavorable role. Once the sheer shock of that wore off I was able to settle in and enjoy the movie for everything that it is.

Truth be told, I'm a sucker for old school styling when it comes to martial arts. This movie has that in spades. The action is very reminiscent of the ilk of years gone by. I truly enjoyed that about it.

The acting was alright. The story was ok, if not a bit telegraphed. If you're a fan of martial arts movies in general (or of Keanu, as he also directed) the I would endorse seeing this movie. If you're looking for a big budget action flick or a billion dollar blockbuster, this isn't it. But you will have a good old fashioned enjoyable flick on your hands.

This sci-fi thriller turned out WAY better than I expected. The description only scratches the surface of this well paced Keanu Reeves flick. The acting was great and the cinematography/effects were just right. The story unfolds beautifully with plenty of twists and turns throughout. I only found a few things predictable but it definitely didn't take away from the thought-provoking intensity of the story. If you're a sci-fi lover like me you'll really enjoy this film. Worth a watch!

Game changer
Going to see his film at the cinema with my dad was one of those memorable evenings because neither of us had seen the trailer or knew what to expect. Wow did we get a good couple of hours. Jaw dropping effects and a story so engaging and yet so different that our minds were blown for a couple of days after. Keanu Reeves in the role of Neo and linking up with the white rabbit will always be on top of my best ever films list.

Non stop action!
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a great pair in this great action film from the director of Twister.

I literally was on the edge of my seat the entire film waiting to see what would happen and if the bus hostages would make it through their ordeal alive.

Yeah fine, Dennis Hopper is over the top and some of the scenes are a little unbelievable. A film like this makes you suspend your disbelief while you're watching and takes you along for the ride!!

Literally...

"I love that movie. I watch that one over and over and over again. I love that one. The costumes, the people… even though the people… like Keanu Reeves, he may not be the greatest actor, but you don’t even realize that when you’re watching it — it’s like you’re so sucked into the world of the romance, and the visuals that are just so rich and decadent. And it makes you wanna live that life, you know. It makes you wanna live in a castle somewhere where you only use candles for lighting."

Watched today probably the best action movie I've seen this year so far the action scenes especially shot around Paris are quite amazing and hats off to donnie yen as the retired assassin who knows John wick is brilliant nice to see both ian mcshane and lance riddick in his last role before his but my favourite character goes to shamier Anderson as nobody who's never seen without his dog by his side gets plenty to do and laughs as well overall good action movie
