6th viewing of this. First time the whole family has sat down for a movie together, start to finish, since Shrek The Third (2007). Merry Christmas.

When I tell you I had a PHYSICAL reaction to this movie... I was gripping the seat with RAGE. I was shaking, I was yelling. When it ended, I let out the biggest sigh I've ever sighed. My grandmother, who was watching it with me (her first time at the theater in years), says "Wow, I love Dame Judy Dench."

This was my 100th movie of 2019, the very last movie I watched of the decade. I watched this on December 31st, New Year's Eve, at 4:20pm. If that't not cursed... (Was 2020 my fault?)

“Sure he was great, but dont forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did...backwards and in high heels.” - Bob Thames, 1982

This was FUN. Great action, well shot, and Keanu had just the right amount of screen time. Get Ana in more action movies!

My few complaints are so nit-picky…I’ll save it.

Proof that practical effects will always reign supreme.

Bonus half star because they shot this chronologically which is really fucking cool.

I feel so insanely lucky to live in a time where a movie like this can be made.
