Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matrix
Review: The premise of this film is novel and well covered. It is difficult not to like this movie if you like action/adventure at all. It is better than most, a little dark (similar to The Crow), and the acting is excellent.

The one thing that could have been left out was the little "love" scene that was beside the point, unnecessary, and obviously gratuitous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies of 1999
Review: The previews on TV didn't do the movie justice. This is the best cyberpunk movie yet. I like the original (more than most) storyline. The reason for extrapping the humans seemed stretched but otherwise the movie was very consistent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nothing can top this movie
Review: The problem with most movies lately, particularly those that fall into the action genre, is that no matter how much good story telling there is, they just don't make you think. The Matrix contains post apocalyptic philosiphies and theories that do just that. The complete shock of this movie is that it could happen, it could be true; and there are certain paradoxes to point to this, the famous Zeno's Paradox is one of them. Also something that we rarly see in action films of todays generation is strong acting, something that The Matrix is full of. Reeves drops the "California surfer dude" act and is just plain great. Fishburn is at his best as Neo's teacher, providing insight into his life, and ours. The thing I must applaud the Wachowski Brothers with the most however, is that the special effects (which are out of this world) do not drown out the plot or actors, as is the case with every other special FX flick of the last few years.

This movie comes with the highest recommendation possible. It gets five stars because I couldn't give it six.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "EXPLOSIVE MIND-BENDER"
Review: The rarest achievements of this movie--narrational, cinematic and moral tautness--are all the more astonishing given its genre and occasionally successful attempts to innovate.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: An overrated film with serious flaws
Review: The reviwe that say's this film is for Nerds got it dead on. When I finished watching it I was left with the impression that I got. The film has some major problems as well. 1)The plot is unoriginal with some major holes E.G Why did not the agents takeover the gaurds in the Lobby scene and in the beginging scene or simply take over Keanu while he was in the matrix.

2)The acting except for Fishburnes performance and Agent Smith's is completely wooden. I expexct no less from Keanu Reeves but not the other's.

3)Keanu Reeves the guy cannot act (in anything)and I am still wondering why he was chosen for the film and why he won an acting award? They should have had somone else.

4)The fact that the so called hero's spend more time gunning down the people they are supposed to save does not give me the slightst sympathy for them. In fact they are more like terroists than freedom fighter's.

5)The fight scenes are good then you see a Jet Li movie and you see real figh scenes. I am glad he is in the Sequel. Only thing about that is that watching him get beaten up by Keanu REEVES WILL BE HARD TO SWALLOW.

The film is severly overrated and I hope the sequel is better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: keanu's best role ever
Review: The role of Neo must have been written specifically for Keanu Reeves. It was perfectly tailored to his abilities - He didn't have to say too much, and he looked fantastic in a long black leather trench coat.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A special effects masterpiece
Review: The scintilating array of special effects in this movie are like nothing that I've seen before. A true zenith of movie making. The effective and interesting plotline also adds to this movies appeal, but the action and effects are clearly the clinchers. Fishburne, Reeves, and Moss mesh together well to form a team of people trying to save mankind. Lastly, the Dolby Digital is amazing, perfect sound. If not for the slow beginning, this movie would have gotten 5 stars. A must have on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most genius thriller movie ever made!
Review: The smartest story you have ever seen. Great movie. Not likeanything you have seen before. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie but very unrealistic.
Review: The special effects and the plot was pretty good. But I hate it when you see one guy with one gun shoot like 20 guys with guns without even reloading his gun. But its still a pretty good film and its worth watching at the cinema deffitinetely but I can't see much point in buying it unless you have a DVD player with a wide screen TV.
