a bland view on the matrix

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2002)

ok when the matrix first came out i simple loved every minute of it. but when you think about it, every time a decent movie comes out everybody loves it for a week and then it fades.
there is no doubt that the matrix is a good movie but i think maybe i over-hyped it a little too much. now that the excitement has passed i can probably make a more accurate judgement on the movie.
the special effects were groundbreaking and added a whole new dimension to film and story telling
the script was good but not amazing
the characters were fairly well developed but not as good as in films like pulp fiction, however the amount of action in this movie meant there wasnt really enough screen time for some proper development p.s. fishbourne was truly excellent
the casting was spot on, keanu is the perfect geek, laurence the father figure and trinity the sexy tom boy rebel
all in all a great way to spend 2 hours of your life watching it but the excitement fades over time
