haven't seen the movie yet, so this might be off-topic, but
when my college english prof. said he wanted us to discuss a movie/book dealing with heroic maturation, we named the matrix. He said it was crap because Neo couldn't figure out his powers on his own, he needed all these people to help him... look at star wars, luke skywalker did the same, he had the gift but had to be trained to reach his full potential. I guess its just more heroic for a hero to reach his/her potential on his/her own, or realise the potential, without having someone lead them along like a pawn to that last square to get turned into a queen so they can put the evil king in check mate and end the movie... got carried away with the chess analogy, sorry.
Anyhow, why the hell does hollywood feel the need to equip every potential hero with their very own mentor to teach them how to reach their full potential? We either have badassess with no info on how they became them, or potential badasses with mentors who help them become badasses. Wouldn't RAMBO be so much more of a badass if we didn't have that old colonel hanging around saying how he taught him everything he knows?
