For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Some two thousand years you could be left a pauper because of "god". Meaning a rich owner could switch social class just for refusing to become a Christian. Well, slaves would remain slaves to a Christian lord, but they will be free if the Lord would refuse conversion because somehow Jesus did not tolerate anyone above him. Same goes for the trials. As a Christian you could keep your old rights, no matter how abusive. But as anything else, the tribunals were not for you.About a century ago Marxism has risen. Your whole factory could stop working because of syndicates. People who could not read or write, whose only merit was to get up when the siren sounded now were somehow entitled to a say in how the business was going. And they will kill and maim anyone who would want to take the working place. And these revolutionaries had nothing to do with the bills. Rent, storage, raw materials were all for the owner to bother, yet the profit was somehow their right.Now there is Anonymous. Some moment your computer might stop responding. Or start attacking some site you don't even know it exists. You pay the computer, they are ready to make it work. The power and Internet bill are yours. The usage is somehow shared.And all these happen because of activists. People whose only business is to decide for others. And they get angry too and throw tantrums if it does not get in their way.What is worse, like the ISIS guys, these are rich kids who believe they work for a higher purpose. The Messiah has called them, each one, and they have to do this and that to the system. And of course, they are not rich. Usually all their assets are owned by their parents, so they can freely develop the delusion of being a hippie or a gypsy.Nothing new. So they rape the words to make it look cool. Not activists. Hacktivists. And the laptop so expensive someone in India could by a house and a car? Cover it with cutesy stickers to show how anti consumerism you are.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

We Are Legion: The Story of the HacktivistsThanks to online anonymity you can now let your friends know that they're fat sluts without having to lose their friendship.However, fat shaming is far from the mandate of the faceless hackers in this documentary.From its early inception on image-based message boards to its impact on the occupy movement, the polemic collective of online hackers known as Anonymous has always put freedom of speech first on their list of demands.Claiming to have hacked numerous email accounts and websites belonging to governments, politicians and movie executives, the faceless rabble reinforce their rule when civil liberties are threatened.Speaking in-depth with masked/unmasked members (Anon2World, Gregg Housh) as well as curators of online media outlets that tout its exploits, We Are Legion may be biased but it does divulged incredible insight into this unorganized organization.Furthermore, it's nice to know that those masks they wear don't mean they're all Juggalos.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

This a fine example of the media sympathizing perhaps even glorifying a group and actions of criminals. The reason people in government are given authority for adverse actions against citizens is in part necessary lesser evil one that is preferable to the actions of a fascist state where citizens have no recourse to penalties and no defense or legal representation to protect themselves from individuals or groups acting above the law for unknown motives. Vigilantism and conspiracy in a grand scale is really treason with a pretty bow tie. Being a fan of these people is spitting on the real professions dedicated to their appointed often selfless and extremely dangerous position. I suppose it is a lot to ask someone making millions from potentially creating situations that get groups of actual individuals paid, trained, and responsible for their actions hurt or worse is acceptable to the media, but it sucks and I personally feel boycotting this sort of crude, it promotes crime and undermines our government.

Immediately on seeing this documentary i could see that while it presents only a few views, there was an excellent story telling element. Internet is beyond the ability of people to classify but people do know that there is a territorial war for knowledge, ownership and opportunity.The slow, drawn out pranking, hacking, cracking and inability of authority to overwhelm the vast numbers of the ad-hoc "Anonymous" ideal and group that came to act in representation is chronicled. The range of interviews covers not just self declared geniuses and opportunist writers who claim to publish books attempting understand or explain the world. There are also all kinds of average, or even below average skill and intelligence who found a home and created as much of the culture as the so called elite hacker. So there is a transcendence and assumption that we know the internet and forum culture enough that ethics and the vast range of different motivations can be opened up to the audience.Its way more general and relevant to all internet forum users and connected to global events, revolutionaries than it is to simple acts of system cracking and website hacking. So many people will find it educational but most likely will react more to the not so magnetic nerd culture by identifying with or against it.There are many interviews here which apparently succeed in chronicling the much longer story of legal suppression of activism through hacking. Milestones of change such as the public criticism and public mobilization against the Church of Scientology and it's extreme litigation and counter-offensive efforts to harm anyone who publicly embarrasses or criticizes it.The main story is that this documentary seeks to recruit people by opening their eyes to the power of even small acts of defiance in the face of abuse of power. Abuse such as in the case of governments closing down lines of communication and concerned freedom groups re-enabling information flow such as in the Egypt massacres of demonstrators who eventually embarrassed their dictator into quitting government.This type of documentary is rare - so spread the word
