Summary: 1 STAR FOR DVD EXTRAS AND 1 STAR FOR EVERYONE BUT KEANU! ! !
Review: I saw this movie first on the big screen I was pretty keen, soI guess I had very high expectations, Imagine how disappointed I wasto discover that this film was far from being the great movie I had desperately hoped it would be, the only other films to get my hopes so disappointingly high was BLAIR WITCH and ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS, although the Matrix is nowhere near as bad/rotten/stupid/or as pathetic as those movies are, (theyre in a class of their own). Their were a few good points that drew me to the movie, like the Special FX and the action scenes, the opening with Carrie Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving was simply brilliant, even though it looked very similar to certain scenes in BLADE actually quite alot of the action scenes seemed to be inspired by BLADE and THE CROW (I wonder why that is? If youve seen BLADE then you will know what I mean! ) Laurence Fishburne is always watchable though his scifi choices havent always been good, do you remember EVENT HORIZON? I think his talent was wasted or perhaps he could have had a better co-star, not Keanu! Anyway because I liked some of it I decided to give the Matrix another chance, I got it out again on DVD, which is chock full of Extras that are pretty cool, I watched how the actors prepared for their more grueling scenes and began to appreciate the movie on a different level, getting more insight into how hard everyone worked to get this movie up on the big screen I guess it made me more sympathetic, even though I still cringe at Keanus performance, and roll my eyes at some corny scenes with Carrie saying lovey dovey words of encouragement to Neo, I have to say I disliked it less than when I watched it the first time, which is something I guess. I wont discourage anyone from watching it, go see it and find out for yourself make up your own mind, as for me Id rather buy BLADE much more entertaining. By the way did you know that the DVD version has some hidden extras (or 'Easter Eggs as theyre more commonly known, although technically this isnt a real 'Easter Egg') theyre not obviously advertised on the package see if you can find them!

Summary: Just had to be the first...
Review: I saw this movie for the first time in the UK, and almost didn't due to the inclusion of Keanu Reeves. As a philosophy major at uni, this movie was suprisingly thought provoking and drew its inspiration from one of the oldest of philosophical quesitons: how can we be sure that everything is as our senses claim... spooky. Anyway, I liked it loads. Cracking soundtrack, great directing, and for once the good guys get to wear the leather jackets and the cool shades! Order it now... I know I have.

Summary: Best DVD ever made!
Review: I saw this movie for the first time on DVD and let me tell you, this is the best action movie ever made! The special effects are unbelievable. Even the menu screen is cool to watch. A must for any DVD owner!

Summary: When you see this, you'll be dying for the sequel!
Review: I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, and was surprised when I found I enjoyed it- the action genre usually leaves something to be desired, in my opinion... and I normally can't stand Keanu Reeves. Laurence Fishburne does a marvelous job as Morpheus, and the Wachowski brothers spin a tale so engrossing and believable that you may look at your whole world a little differently afterwards- it leaves the viewer to do a lot of philosophical insight.

Summary: Think before you buy
Review: I saw this movie right when it came out, in a theater with a huge screen and dolby sound and all that, and I LOVED it. It was dark, edgy, pushed a lot of boundaries and I was thinking about it for days afterwards. Well, I rented it again last week (and was thinking of buying it) but I found that at the second viewing, the movie had really lost its edge for me. When you already know the intricasies of the plot and have already figured out where the labyrinth goes, most of what is left is a bunch of special effects and fight scenes. Admittedly the special effects and fight scenes are excellent examples of editing and high tech computer graphics, but the movie did not draw me in on the second viewing and I'm glad I didn't buy a copy of it.

Summary: This movie is wicked cool!
Review: I saw this movie six times in the theater, but none matched the first time. The story is deep and wild, with a sci-fi essence so sweet, you have to see it to appreciate it. The special effects are first rate and the best is when they slow down time and spin around the characters. Just kickin'! See this movie!

Summary: I don't see what the big deal is
Review: I saw this movie when it came onto video. After hearing everyone talk about how great it was I thought I'd try and watch this movie. No big deal. To me this was just an average movie and I probably won't sit down to watch this movie again. The only good thing about this movie is the special effects. The effects aren't even the best I've seen. If you want to see a REAL action movie that you can watch over and over and not get tired of it then try Terminator 2: Judgement Day or Predator.

Summary: What's the problem with Comp. Animation?
Review: I saw this movie with my boyfriend as a compromise, and I LOVED it! Action packed with a unique storyline and FANTASTIC special effects! I don't know why everyone complains about comp. anim. because it took this movie to a whole new level...

Summary: Definately worthwhile for the intelligent action freak!
Review: I saw this on video as a late night option, figuring that it would be a "so,so special effects showcase. To my suprize this movie "ROCKED!". I was rivited to my seat during the action sequences, and deep thinking the possibilities in between. Must see for guys and girls that crave action and suspense, but don't want to get a brain cramp in the process!.
