number30?!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2000)

Regardless of anything I could say, good, bad, or otherwise about the matrix, I must start by asking one simple question. Who could have possibly voted The Matrix as the 30th best film ever made? This is so ridiculous I cannot even begin to get infuriated before I vomit. But I digress. Please do not misunderstand. This movie was fine. It was interesting. It had good action sequences, interesting camerawork, and powerful and well placed special effects. But, I think this movie lacked the kind of substance, the true cinematic power, that sets truly great films apart from those that are just nice f/x vehicles. Keanu Reeves is incredibly boring, he needs to play at least two characters to earn the money he makes. Fishburne was cool, but nothing like we've seen from him before. How could Matrix rank above BOyz in the Hood or even School Daze. The plot was interesting, and even thought provoking, but in the end this movie is nothing more than brain candy, certainly undeserving of even the top 250. What are people watching these days? Is this the best anyone can do?
