Summary: Extraordinary action and Impressive effects
Review: I watched the special feature available on the DVD which shows the making of the film. Excellent! I have a great appreciation and reverence for martial arts...the extensive training that went into making this film was manifested in the realistic fighting scenes. I have seen this movie a few times already, and never grow tired of watching Neo and Trinity kick Agent-butt...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: AWESOME! DON'T MISS IT!
Review: I watched this film twice and loved it! It was thought-provoking, tantalizing, invigorating and exciting. The Matrix requires the viewer to actually THINK and its story is deliciously deep and twisting, its concept both frightening and infuriating.

I don't like films that depend on special effects. I also don't like films that advertise them and execute them poorly. The Matrix used special effects about as well as I have ever seen in any film. Not overdone, and when used, executed to absolute perfection. The use of slow-motion combined with comic-book style action was the beyond anything I have ever seen--simply mind-blowing!

As for nuts and bolts, this film used clever angles and interesting perspectives, focusing in on otherwise mundane situations (falling bullets for instance) to suddenly make them thrilling. The sound effects and music were perfect, not blowing out your eardrums, enhancing--not taking away from--the pace of the story, and adding to the overall enjoyment of the film.

The cast was excellent. Nobody was overblown, nobody "stole" the show to take attention away from the others; the film took time to let us get to know the characters, both the good and bad.

As you can see, I loved this film. I would not give it a four star rating because it did have some flaws that I felt hurt the story, although I happily forgave the few problems that I immediately noticed. However, I cannot be overly critical of a film that did such an otherwise astounding job from start to finish--but naturally, I wish it had been perfect!

Summary: Enter the Review
Review: I watched this movie because it had Elrond (Hugo Weaving), but then I found out it was good!

aliens conquered the world and attached all of huminity into a computer. Some realized it was all fake and escaped. The agents (the computer's physical form) will stop at nothing to kill the escaped humans and to keep humanity. The hero, Neo, begins to realize he is destined to end the human/computer war. Humanity will risk everything to keep him, and the computer will stop at nothing to destroy him.

The special effects are breathtaking. the people in general are somewhat interesting. Neo and agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) are the interesting ones. You should see it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Where the heck is the action scenes?
Review: I watched this movie on the cinema and then I bought it on DVD. The first thing I wanted to see again on the DVD was the shootout when he hides behind the walls in a building and he spins in the air and shoots the enemys at the same time. But, where can I find the scene?which time on the counter? I havn't found it yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome
Review: I watched this movie over 15 times, 5 on vhs and 10 on DVD(much better, yet my decision is totally biased, cause DVD is so cool) and i never got tired of it, it took me 2 tries to fully understand it but the special effects and action sequences were the best ever, and when you see keenu reeves walk through the metal detector with 22 guns strapped to his body it somehow makes the whole movie worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY AWESOME
Review: I watched this movie over and over. Excellent special effects, great characters, interesting story line. BUY IT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yep....watch it twice
Review: I watched this movie the first time totally "blinded". Since I am not a modern-day movie fan (an old movie buff) I had not followed the hype regarding this movie. My teenaged son begged me to watch it with him, so I did. The very first couple of scenes were very confusing and I kept threatening to stop watching, but then I started to get interested. I thought the special effects were great. I did find it just a little bit difficult to follow the first time, but the second time around, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of those movies that you shouldn't take 100% seriously, but sit and enjoy the fast action and the special effects and maybe, just maybe, wonder about this so-called world we live in. Nah, really, it is a great movie for entertainment. It's not a movie I'd personally watch over and over, but I did enjoy it and I feel it is well worth viewing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix is a fine work of art. It's awesome!
Review: I watched this movie with rather low expectations, but man, were they ever exceeded! Keanu Reeves does a great job playing the role of Neo, and, besides the cheesy, "I love you" ending, this movie is perfect in every way. I recomend it to all people, young and old, who don't mind a few harsh words and a little violence, because this thought-provoking movie is one that you just can't afford to miss!
