When the link said "Whacking Day", I thought it was going to have something to do with The Simpsons episode of the same name. You disappointed me. :-)

Hey - it wasn't just bad acting, bad dialogue, bad plot loopiness, bad staging, and a very bad "ending." The Big Movie Moment - the fight with 100 Agent Smiths - was also disappointing. The transition from "live actor" to CGI actor and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth for 15 minutes may have been seamless, but so what? Going seamlessly from realistic movement to CGI movement only highlights how far CGI is still removed from presenting anything close to real-looking human movement.

And I know I'm not the first to point this out, but when you give a character the power of flight and then make him stupid enough to hang around and fight instead of fly away, well, that's just really, really stupid.

Stupid. That's the word for this movie.
