The original ending of Leon would have fit better with the revenge theme, Mathilda was doing everything she did to get revenge for her brother. She was supposed to run to Leon's aid and hand Stansfield the grenade pin.
I'm glad for the uncut version anyway, without it Mathilda seems more of an helpless innocent bystander instead of the main driving force.
Talking about blind vengeance, I watched Dredd last night, didn't like it. Probably my fault for watching it after 6 weeks of only seeing top 50 movies, but there wasn't a single likeable character in the whole movie. Maybe it's better in 3D with the sound cranked up. I watched it at night and had to put the subtitles on as the dialogue was whispered from the center speaker while music was blaring from the surround speakers. |
I think Dredds character is exceptional his dermination is something I barely see..usually characters like this always change throughout the movie and so the nature of the movie also changes. I see why you dont like it but this is rare and I think we need more of it.. atleast I do :D

It felt to me like a bad Die Hard remake, also a character with exceptional determination, but likeable as well. For me the director took it too far and not far enough. He chickened out and let him stun the teenagers, then he let him drug ma ma in the end on a stupid gamble.
That seemed to be a theme with the movie, the slow motion scenes went too far, too over processed and 3D gimmicky, yet the mind invasion scene didn't really go anywhere.
And yes, I like characters better when the events have at least some kind of impact on them. 1 dimensional characters can work, but I wasn't feeling it in this movie.
