Spoiler warning

After so many years of watching this series I was starting to give it up. I was wondering why I on earth am I still watching this? But because I liked it it for so long I kept hoping it would get good again. But this last episode included everything that hated about this series since the last 20 episodes.

Cheesy, sillyness, stupid dialogs and softness. I was hoping they would all die. But no! One stupid explosion and the dead were gone. And than a strange finale with Rick and Michone. What was the message? The best series ever changed after 9 seasons into the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst.

PS Deaf people can't hear the dead coming.

Ever horror cliché from the last fifty years (no Frankenstein or Dracula) badly put together. Demi Moore tops her performance in Striptease by minus 30 points. But she has amazingly got ten years younger through strenuous face-exercises. The story? Her son dies and start to haunt her. But off course it is all for her well being. If you like exceedingly long shots of the Scottish scenery then it is a must see, for about 5 minutes of scenery footage but it is played slow-mo so for all you lighthouse voyeurs, get your Kleenex ready.

For the rest it is trite and obvious in every sense of the word, no suspense, no thrills, not even the odd attempt at the shock value boo moment. I wouldn't know how to class the film, it is definitely not horror, not a drama, thriller or comedy. How Demi manages to find these stinkers I don't know.

SPOILERS!!! Well the wait was over and we finally saw it. The first half hour was really bad. It looked like a stupid MTV-videoclip directed by Leni Riefenstahl. My god, what was the meaning of that rave?

Then it got better. Especially the bit with the French-talking character and Monica Belucci was good. Also the Architect was really like it should be. These scenes gave me the real Matrix-feeling. But for the rest it turned into a really stupid cartoon were Nemo flew like Superman, fought like Jacky Chan and had healingpowers like a Charmed-character. The good thing about the first movie, was the fact that the agents were invinsible and the only way to survive was running from them.

But what happened in this part. A stupid white haired duo shot 50.000 rounds at a car and missed everybody. Bulls**t!!!! Of course the key-maker got shot in the end. Strangely enough after he closed the door? How is that possible. First 50.000 bullets missed him and then he was killed through an already closed door. Do I need to continue. I think they ruined an amazing cyber-punk-sf story and turned it into an action-comedy like we see coming out almost every month. X-men, Daredevil, Spidermen, Charlies Angels and now the Matrix. And the worst of it all! He rescues the girl!!!!! No, no, no, let her die and you get a fifty times more interesting movie. But no in a Hollywood-blockbuster the girl gets rescued. I'm a little bit dissapointed.
