Eye candy and what else? *some spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2000)

Okay, I was not put off by the violence. I've stood up for Keanu a few times in other movies. But this...
I was rooting for the traitor. If I were a person in this world, waking up to a dead world where life was likely brief and unpleasant, faced with a war we could not win...I'd want to punch Neo in the nose.
The ideal of freedom is all well and good, but the writers and directors of this gothic nightmare painted a picture of a world without hope. Sure, in the "illusion" we're food for the robots (and haven't we beaten the A.I./human war thing to death?) but at least we have some semblance of a worthwhile existence.
The sort of freedom Neo offers isn't for me and who the heck gave him the right to decide if I can or cannot have my "illusion?"
Weird to say it, but I hated this film not because it was unbelievable or trite, but because I felt like I was being asked to root for the villain.
