Keep listening to the critics, or determine yourself.

Like many of you I have discovered a sense of urgency to post a review on this movie here on IMDb though I have never bothered to do so in my entire life of enjoying movies both at home and in theater.
Many of you 'critics' complaining about peoples positive reviews are spewing out verbal insults like "naive or brainwashed" to those who enjoyed it. While some of you have been able to do this with very reasonable complaints, others also admit right within their reviews that they had no idea what was going on during the movie anyway.
I'm not writing this to encourage you to hear my opinion on the movie, I am writing this to tell you what you should expect.
It will be long, at times very confusing (especially due to the multitude of characters being played by the small number of actors), it's soundtrack can be persuasive at times concerning the mood (It's a wonderful symphony, it's better than half the crap kids hear on the radio in today's age) and may be a bit preachy from here to there.
Those are all precautions that will absolutely become irrelevant to a person who is looking for extremely entertaining story not "crammed" into an small time space like 'most' Hollywood film structures.
Also, if you are left wondering about certain things at the end of this movie, do some research online to fulfill your questions as they can be answered easier than some people on this site would lead you to believe. It's really not that hard.
The first time i watched the Matrix I was puzzled, but I didn't jump on IMDb to whine about it. I re-watched it and it has become one of the most intricate and enjoyable films I've ever watched.
Reserve 3 hours of your day (as many of you would for any of your favorite classics which are usually about 3 hours anyway) and give it a shot. None of these reviews can watch the movie for you.
Side Note: Everyone seems to have reached the consensus that Tom hanks and Halle Berry are the actors people were so excited to see in this movie? I never cared for either yet I personally feel the acting in this movie as a whole was magnificent!
