I'd have elite cops like Christian Bale in Equilibrium
Students rioting? Send in one Grammaton Cleric, anyone that survives would be too busy saying "Did you see that? That was fucking COOL!" to continue rioting.

I think he'd actually be better than me.

For a start I'd make Parliament respect the Police
Not demand the impossible while simultaneously cutting their resources. I'd make them FEAR me, and start acting like responsible, law-abiding adults, not entitled superhumans.

Then I'd work on the bankers.

If I had Clegg and Cameron supplicating at my feet
Begging for my forgiveness, then you're damn right I'd be wanking furiously.

Please stamp on Cameron's smug fucking face
And simply piss all over Clegg, then let him leave. He's already dead to pretty much everyone anyway.

Mark Oaten would probably love to do the latter.

Get Professor X (or someone equivalent with a sense of humour)
And get all of the protestors within 100 yards to punch themselves in the face repeatedly, until they either pass out, or go beyond the 'punch line'

I would love to see a line of people marching angrily forward
crossing an invisible line and then all simultaneously punching themselves in the face.

I'm laughing just picturing it

In all seriousness, why do people compare it to The Matrix?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 11:35, Reply)

because it's better

Than the original? No chance
The other 2, fine.

Stylistically similar, maybe, in that it's a guy wearing a leather jacket, beating people up. Therefore it's the same as Angel, Blade, etc.

Mad Dog is right
And a big part of the style and visuals of the film bearing comparison to The Matrix is because for about two years after The Matrix came out every action movie released wanted to be The Matrix

Because it came out at roughly the same time
And has awesome kung-fu fights with guns, plus a similar bleak outlook/style/wardrobe.
