Summary: Great Action sequences
Review: I didn't have too many problems with this movie, but I know it could have been better. Joe was great and you better watch him on the Sopranos because he's great there to. Lets hope the sequel doesn't fall flat.

Summary: Unique and amazing visuals!
Review: I didn't know what to expect going in to this movie. I had heard lots of good things about it, but most people couldn't explain the storyline in a way I could understand. I finally saw it and was just blown away by the first scene alone (maybe I am easily entertained?). The Trinity fight scene in the beginning is just a great start to a fantastic movie.The storyline is intriguing, though it's difficult to understand completely the first time. I've since seen the movie several times and finally understand it better. The visual effects are incredible, especially with the creation of "bullet-time." The DVD is pretty good, though I haven't checked out most of the special features yet. Well worth buying, IMHO!

Summary: Very Different...but in a good way
Review: I didn't see the Matrix in a theater, and I'm dissapointed that I didn't. My friends said it was an excellent movie. I'm in high school, and they thought it was great. I rented it when it came out on video, and the first time I saw it, I wasn't sure I even liked it. The whole idea was new to me. I watched it again and was blown away. The "dream world" was done so well with the bullet time and even though the plot was good, the dialogue had a chance to become cliche and obvious, but it didn't. I can't say much here to tell someone about the movie, they have to go and see it to get what I mean. [...]

Summary: One of the best Science fiction films I've ever seen.
Review: I didnt bother to see this movie in the theater because I thought it was gonna be a let-down. I rented the movie after it came out and was really surprised. The story was quite unique. The action was great. The best part were the effects. You will not be disappointed. A great flick.

Summary: Stunning Mindblowing
Review: I didnt want to see this movie at first. It looked dark and dull. Then I saw a preview with some Kung fu action and then I made it a weekend thing. I saw it 3 out of the 4 opening weekend days it was playing! I love this movie. The plot you can follow and the cast is great in roles which could seem somewhat silly at times. The most pivotal thing for me in this film is REAL actors doing REALLY good kung-fu action/fight scenes! Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburn, Hugo Weaving, and Carrie Ann Moss all spent 4 months training with one of the best martial arts directors in cinema history. It shows! The fight scenes are amazing if they do suffer from a bit too much wire work for my tastes. There is also the stunning visual effects utilizing a brand new method of film making. They have to be seen being put together in the documentary on this disc. Also a key on this dvd is the white rabbit feature which allows you to see how certain scenes were filmed and put together. There is a not-so subtle use of green through out the film, aside from this is one of the best films of 1999. A must see for just about any movie fan!

Summary: What can I say? It's the Matrix
Review: I do not agree with the violent content in this movie. However the special effects were off the hook. When I first went to go see this movie I didn't know what to expect. Everything was a surprise. They didn't give away anything in the previews.Which is good. this is where most movies fail. I found myself still talking about this movie a month after I saw it. I couldn't get it out of my mind. I've never seen a movie like it in my life. I'm still unclear of what the matrix is because I think It's more complex than a simple definition.The only bad thing about the movie is that the violence should of been replaced by martial arts. then it would of been hype. However, the people in Hollywood can't stop the urge to just shoot things up. They glamourized guns in this movie. And I saw kids in the movie theatre! It could of had 5 stars if it wasn't so violent.

Summary: A Classic
Review: I do not know what I can add that has not already been said about this movie -- it is great. Heck, when I found out this movie was coming out on DVD back in September I went and bought a DVD player and full surround sound system. The story is very good -- even though ideas and themes in the movie are borrowed from many sources, the execution of the story is enticing and refreshing. The action sequences are top-notch and are matched to a quality soundtrack. The special effects are not only great, but they do not steal from they show -- they only enhance the story. The combination of story, action, and FX make this film fun to watch over and over -- it never seems to get boring. This is a classic and Cyberpunk at its best.

Summary: I am intrigued and I want the rabbit hole to go deeper...
Review: I don't know how anybody could slate this film at all. Not only is it a sci-fi masterpiece, but for me is an incredibly thought-provoking film. Credit's where it's due - the Wachowski Brothers have really excelled themselves, and they haven't been in this kind of 'business' for that long! I doubt they will surpass themselves again with any other of their efforts, the only chance of doing that would be The Matrix 2 (a really interesting concept). I apologise to those who disagree strongly, but in short I believe The Matrix is the greatest film ever made.
