The Matrix, what a waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (9 August 2000)

Wow. After all that this movie was hyped up, I was greatly disappointed. But what did I expect.
This movie is typical of the garbage Hollywood churns out, and how typical of the blind masses to eat it all up. There are massive plot loopholes one could drive a truck through (Someone please explain to me, when in this "virtual world", why do they need a phone to get out? That's like saying "Quick, we need to touch a dog to get out of the matrix!)
I have never once in my life seen so many good looking computer geeks. All so stylishly dressed as well, but then again, this is a definite "style over content" movie, with black clothes being so popular, it's no wonder the producer wanted people decked out head to toe in trenchcoats. After all, why bother to write a decent storyline when you can just fake it, put in lots of "great" special effects, trendy costumes, "l33t computer H@xors" and have it sell on these points alone? Sorry, not good enough for me.
This movie is plain bad, from the moment it starts right up to the moment it ends, with all the blatant overacting inbetween.
If you are one of those people that doesn't like to think when they watch a movie, (and no people, that whole "Oh the Matrix makes you WONDER" line is just lame, stop it) you'll love this. If you are one of those people that aren't swayed by pretty lights and fancy special effects used to wow most audiences, stay well clear of this.
