good movie, but way overrated

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2006)

I don't see why people like The Matrix so much. I'm not saying that it's a bad movie or anything like that, but it is nowhere near as good as a lot of people say it is. And personally, I don't think it even belongs on IMDb's top 250 list, let alone so high on it.
The Matrix just didn't strike me as a masterpiece of a movie. I just thought of it as a decent motion picture with good action and an okay plot. But the fact was, in between the action sequences, thankfully there were many of them, the rest of the movie just got dull.
But however, when the action sequences did commence, this movie reached my demands. It has a lot of good martial arts combat fights and plenty of gunfire. And I did like those agents that we see throughout the movie.
Overall, The Matrix is a good movie definitely worth seeing a few times, but it is not as good as many claim it to be. Not even close.
