Summary: Whats wrong with you people?
Review: I really can't understand why everyone loves this movie so much? It's got lots of interestingly photographed violence, yes. But that's it. The story is nothing more than a "Dark City" but with dumb dialogue; and actually it's not even that good. It's got about 5 plot holes, the most obvious being the scene where Reeves shoots all those security guards for no particular reason. Could he not have zapped himself to the top floor? Or even into the room where Fishburn was being held hostage. It's not like that would have been less safe. Secondly, the special effects are taken right out of the opening of the howard stern show, (flow-mo anyone?) as well as from the earliest stages of film history, i.e. Eadweard Maybridge. The acting is inconsistent at best, and the directing although stylish is obvioulsy amatuerish in it's ability to tell a coherent and clever story. It's like film-school students with a really big budget, who like HR Giger a lot. Lets face it people, there is no real creativity here, and if you're gonna' rave about a movie to this extent than make sure it's a movie worth raving about. In conclusion: I'm assuming that just about everyone in america and their foriegn uncle has seen this movie by now, so i'll just say, if you haven't bought and are thinking of doing so, go rent it then make your decision. ...

Summary: I just like the Kung-Fu Scenes
Review: I really didn't care for the storyline. Interesting philosophy, but let's face it, I came to watch Keanu and his crew kick some Agent butt. And they did it with style! The leather duds and the shades just raise the ***-whooping factor to a new level of cool. Carrie-Ann Moss with those kicks -- you go, Girl! I'll have to admit that my favorite characters were the agents. I don't know why, but they were. They were lethal despite their non-chalant, expressionless demeanor. They're like the Secret Service without the paranoia. Totally unyielding and unimpassioned and completely static -- not your standard, everyday enemy. I normally don't watch action flicks without a decent plot, but this movie could get away with it. It bleeds cool. Check it out!

Summary: Like Nothing Before
Review: I really like this movie. When it first came out it was like nothing else. Especially since alot of the movie was set in virtual reality. But even though it was a very technical movie it also had a lot of human elements. It had Neo dealing with becoming The One, Trinity dealing with her love for Neo, and the whole human race dealing with slavery (although most didn't know it). Even my friends who do not like science fiction, like this movie.

Summary: GREAT! BUT its japanese animation inspired
Review: i really liked this movie very,very much,most people say this flick is as original as it can get,but FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW,let me tell you that the creators of the matrix are japanese animation FANS,they said in an interview that they were watching some anime movies and series while writting the script,and by the way the movie plot is and many scenes from it ,clearly they took parts from GHOST IN THE SHELL,SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN,and NINJA SCROLL,any anime fan can tell you this.but still what a great movie.also mission imposible 2 is filled with some scenes from a video game called metal gear solid.

Summary: One impossibly great movie
Review: I really must say that the story line is very original... I salute you, Wachowski bros! However, the dialogue didn't seem to be as original, which detracts from the movie. The acting was somewhat forced...I felt that Keanu and Carrie-Ann had to have their teeth pulled just to say some of the things they had to say. As for the DVD, I haven't seen it; but I took one look at the features included and I'm definitely buying this one (my first!!). This DVD offers many different features, which many DVD's do so little. I would definitely invest in this little puppy!

Summary: Just an awesome experience. What a film!!!
Review: I remember when I came out of the theatre the first time I saw The Matrix back in 1999 (I returned to watch it in theatres three more times...): I had never felt such a rush after watching a film.
Everything is exciting about this movie, the story, the concept, the special effects, the ending, the philosophical messages. And by the way, it is a great sci-fi-kung-fu-action thriller.
The sequels are another story. But "The Matrix" stands on its own as a milestone in the history of cinema at the dawn of the new millenium.

Summary: I tried to play the dvd;it didn't work!
Review: I rented this at two different video stores,and I coudn't play it! I got zero picture and sound! I don't think it's my dvd player,because I put in a different dvd,and the disc worked fine. Did anyone else have this problem? Are all initial copies of this dvd defective,or what?

Summary: Great movie--Great documentary
Review: I rented this DVD yesterday and it was so good I watched it twice. The making of The Matrix documentary was worth the rental cost by itself. I bought the DVD earlier today and can't wait to try the White Rabbit feature in which if a white rabbit appears on the screen you can watch how the effect was done. The commentary should be fun also. I love DVD and its extras. And this movie uses them to their best.
