But after seeing several different trailers, I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing this one. With live action it's everything I wished the cartoon was. And the way they captured some of the cartoon look is amazing. The visuals are the reason I want to see it, and the story may suck, but I think it will still get me to buy a ticket.

I was looking forward to a live action movie, why did they deliberately make it look cartoonish? Meh. Put me down for a wait and see on this one.

Also am I the only one not falling over themselves to worship the Wachowski's butts? Yeah the Matrix was a fun movie but the third one was so bad I can't stand to watch any of them anymore.
