I loved the movie, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I think people were expecting the Wachowski Brothers to do a Dark Matrix-y Deconstruction of SR and were upset when they got the live-action cartoon that it was clearly meant to be. But the critics had decided that the Wachowskis only do dark sci-fi, so if this wasn't dark sci-fi, then it wasn't a good Wachowski film. Bleah on them.

I own a copy of this movie, and I still enjoy watching it once in awhile, just for mind-relaxing brain candy fun.
