The Matrix

Rating:
Summary: Extremely overrated
Review: clearly overrated and totally unoriginal

it's just a mixture of william gibson's neuromancer (william first introduced us to the matrix.. almost ripoff warning here) Ghost in the Shell and Dark City + some hong kong martial arts

and so there are uncountable holes in the plot

i give it a little credit for the special effects and i can't deny i enjoyed watching it.. but i demand much more than that from a film

Summary: Just many pieces of good movies put together
Review: Come on, how can anyone say this is a good, deep, reflexive movie? Have you ever seen Dark city, Total recall, The thirteenth floor (highly underated movie), and many others? It has SOME good FXs (and all were show on the trailer), but the action is in a boring video game style. If it WAS an original idea, maybe i'd say this is a good movie. But since it's just a remix of many great stories, i'd say THE MATRIX is just a mirage of a good movie.

Summary: Slow motion masking a bad film
Review: Contary to what has been written about this film, I don't see anything ground breaking, but only cliche'. The reluctant messiah story is as old as Buddha, Jesus, and Burt Reynolds in the Longest Yard. Even worst, it takes forever to more this tired story along. I felt insulted as a viewer with average smarts by the "Alice in Wonderland" reference.

For all the CGI hype, it is just that. Slow motion bullets with trails have been done years before in "Sniper." I am surprised that the few scenes of over the top gun play where the good guys never get hit still plays with the young who seem to love this movie. There is nothing visionary about taking bad Bruce Lee knock-off fight scenes and put them to slow motion.

Production value and cinematography is a disappointment too. Under exposure, and bluing doesn't create a mood, but does creates good night light of two plus hours of sleep.

Summary: Absolutely Awesome!
Review: Could be one of the best movies I've ever seen. Haven't been this excited over a movie since I was 6 years old watching Star Wars! Special effects and story line are incredible!

Review: CRAZY is all i can say ~ when i saw the Matrix in the theaters, i thought every aspect was unbeatable - the sound, graphics, action, fighting, cast, and the CRAZY plot ~ the DVD version is a define equal to the theater experience ~ and much more (jam packed with special features, pictures, and trailers)- you saw how many MTV movie awards this movie won ~ THEREFORE this is the ONE to own and treasure for all time ! "But no one can be told what the Matrix is...you have to see it for yourself..."

Summary: its finest hour
Review: cyberpunk has truly reached its finest hour in this latest cinematic addition to the genre. this film appeals to a more educated crowd with its twisted plot and potentially realistic plot. it simultaneously maintains the interest of the nintendo generation by throwing at the viewer a mind blowing array of whiz bang cgi effects and a hot babe in tight vinyl pants. all in all, the wachowski boys have done themselves proud with the most addictive film released this year.

This movie used all the features there is I watched it in both modes and loved the white rabbit mode the best the special effects are awesome and dam love that Kung fo.. sometimes I just wath it for that All in all its a great movie.. A must see And if U missed it in the theatres well this is the way to make it up..

Summary: A Thinking Man's Sci-Fi Flick
Review: Dark, menacing and engrossing. You really need to pay attention to this one or get lost in the rather complicated plot, since what's going on is revealed to the viewer as gradually as Keanu Reeve's character catches on: brilliant tactic! (Though admittedly not what modern audiences are used to from more commonly sophomoric approaches to filmmaking.) Not just for special FX fans, it's as clever as "Twelve Monkeys" or "Dark City," and as visually appealing if not more so, than either of the two. Safely, one of the best sci-fi films of the last ten years! Finally, Reeves in a film worth remembering!
