no gung ho matrix, fore once an excellent wooden performance, and entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2005)

Just seeing this movie, it made me more a believer then passion of the Christ ever did, this remark will probably make some people jump. Stepping away from those remarks such as, what a samy matrix performance, what a matrix gunfight, what a matrix sizzle and last but not forgotten, what a matrix dazzle. Keanu fits this part a a glove, he is egocentric, uses a lot of catchy lines and so forth, but that is exactly how the character is in the comics, and as a avid reader i am exceptionally pleased with the outcome of this movie. I liked the fact that evil and good was mostly universal, and the most powerful character, besides the gods and so forth themselves, is an practitioner of voodoo instead of a catholic priest. And that it is no scared of calling the devil and god less than pleasant names. It is nice for once to see a bit more of other religions, no matter how little, in religious movies, a much needed respite from the dominating Christian movies about good and evil. The effects are nice, although hell is to little a sequence, and the battles are entertaining. And lastly, remember that we all have a perfect version of whatever we read or see, transmuted into a movie, in our head, and these visions are NEVER the same as the movies, so be content, and one day you will See THE movie that is the closest realization of your imagination, so that you may die a happy person, wouldn't that be nice :)
