On the contrary, John Woo is one of my favorite directors. :)

The story was unique (philosophy) at least among most non-anime films I have
seen. Also, a number of the FX used in the film (bullet time, etc.) had not
been seen in a live-action film before, to my knowledge.

I think the attraction is the combination of story, action, FX and that
hard-to-define "cool factor". :)
