Those who actually care about the characters will cherish every moment of dialogue in this movie, and not want it to end.

that is good.Cheesy action/fight movies that focus on the not-so-special effects at the expense of any kind of plot or the "main hero fighting 100 people at once" scenarios lose my interest very quickly. Two big reasons that the first Matrix sequel (watched most of it on DVD two or three months back) was mostly dreadful IMO.
The Mask is one of the few recent films (only one off the top of my head actually) that I love that focuses on eye candy with just enough plot to hold it together.
