Summary: The only word I can say: it's excelent movie
Review: I don't have any comments about this movie to add to the reviwer comments, but I want to say that this great action adventure moive became the best DVD item in my DVD library.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You have to see it for yourself
Review: I don't know how useful this review will be to you but let me tell you this: Star Wars looked like a muppet parade compared to the mind blowing Matrix.

For those who think that the film is about a computer hacker; it is not. This film asks a very philosophical question: "What is real?" And the answer is given in a neat way that is almost believable.

Additionally, I straggled to find flaws or continuation errors in this film. Perfect. And for those who think that the film actually had flows, they simply weren't paying enough attention.

Don't fool yourselves, you have to see this film at least 3 times to understand it.

Well done Wachowski brothers. Let's hope the sequel will not spoil it.

Summary: I HATE TV-SERIES BASED ON MOVIES
Review: I don't know why I like this movie that much, actualle It's a blend af the movie Dark City, 1984, Terminater ect. but what the hell, it's non stop action, that must be the coolest part. Well I do want to by the movie, no movie collection is complete with out it. Intertaining? absolutly. Story is ok, but could be a bit better, I hope they never make a tv-serie based on this movie, I always hate when they do that, it will surely ruin the movie, just like Robocop and those stupid animated movies about the droids from Star Wars.

Summary: I...I....just don't get it.....
Review: I don't know. I've heard people gush and gush about how great "The Matrix" was. I've heard people analyze it in and out, give their various interpretations of what it all means. I even had a classmate do their senior research project on the implications of the movie. And I saw it. And...well...I saw it. It was an afternoon, I watched the movie, I took it out of the VCR and it was over. I wasn't left astounded, or inspired, or anything. Yes, the special effects were good. Yes, Keanu Reeves wasn't terrible, although he wasn't great either. But it just suffered from blandness and an over-pretentiousness. Obviously, there were elements of something of a Messianic allegory, which would be cool if done right, I guess. The problem is that its too obvious. We know that Keanu's the chosen one, we know that he's going to realize his destiny, and you are left with a "well, what's next?" feeling that is never satisfied at the ending. And yes, the special effects were groundbreaking, but to tell you the truth, I saw the slow-mo fight scenes so much before I saw the movie that I wasn't particularly impressed when I actually saw them in the movie. In the end, it all comes off as a sort of Terminator/Star Wars love child, except with those two movies, they wowed you with their grand scale. You knew that those movies were huge, and in Star Wars's case, epic. Here, it's a whole lot of nothing, and in the end, it's just another (yawn!) Hollywood action movie. Some people try to make it seem bigger than it is to make themselves smart, I guess. My advice: If you want movies made by a pair of brothers that are actually good to analzye/interpret, watch a Coen brothers movie. This movie was way to forgetable and shallow to dive into.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS FLICK IS HOT
Review: I don't need a 1000 words to review this film. Kick back and enjoy a cool high tech thriller. This is not one of those high and mighty make you think about everything movie. Enjoy it for what it is, IT IS A REALLY COOL HIGH-TECH ACTION THRILLER. Now go watch the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Why is this movie english-only?
Review: I don't understand. The biggest advantage of DVD for people without highrez TV and 5.1 Surround sound is the multiple languages. I prefer the original version, my wife prefers french. We can choose.

So why isn't there any translation on this title?

Summary: Worth watching several times.
Review: I don't usually watch a film more than once. Most films simply cannot hold my attention for a second, third or fourth viewing. The Matrix is different. I have yet to tire of it. It's a good story, the visuals are impressive, and the special effects are simply amazing. It is a bit violent and those who don't enjoy violent films should avoid it. But I think it will go down as one of those timely films that captured a snapshot of our cultures myths at a certain point in time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great!
Review: I dont want to make this long.
I loved this movie. The whole thing lacks color and the characters never change thier tone of voice. But the special effects are outstanding. I liked the plot too because no one ever has come up with something like that. There's a million types of horror movies. But this movie is one of a kind. The fight seens are exellent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome special effects!
Review: I enjoyed the special effects in this movie. The plot was interesting and imaginative, and the music was pumping the whole time.
