I know this movie has gotten a lot of negative reviews (some points I agree with, like too much dialogue in the beginning), but I have to say my kids and I really enjoyed this film. I think critics overthink things too much. I don't know why people critique these summer movies like they're supposed to have the depth and significance of Schindler's List. It's just a fun, summer movie - relax, enjoy, suspend disbelief for awhile. It is visually stunning. The Wachowski's have created never before seen effects which I think are worth seeing. It has a good moral to the story. It's a good family movie. And, though, kids may get a little antsy during the heavy dialogue in the beginning, they are rewarded with high energy, and even comedic, scenes in the latter half. My kids left the theater very excited, and LOVED the chimp!!! I would encourage any family looking to take their children to a good, wholesome movie to go see this film. It's also fun for the car guy, Speed Racer fanboy, or anyone into action movies with cool, new effects.
