Shadowed in a very bad way

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2006)

The only thing that spoiled this movie was its sequels. They cast such an abominable shadow upon the original film that one just cannot give "The Matrix" the highest mark. If they were shot by different persons, with different cast, etc. it could have been neglected. Alas, the same persons are doing it in. That is why "The Lawnmower Man" is better and deserves a definite 10 out of 10.
If you want to see how a brilliant movie can be destroyed by clumsy sequels - this is a sheer example.
As to the movie itself, it is properly done and is captivating. In "The Matrix" everything is slick...
9 out of 10. Thank you for attention.
