Trying to be balanced

Rating: Null/10 (15 February 2002)

Anyone trying to pass this off as the "Greatest Movie ever Made" is probably some prepubescent teen in love with the lead characters. Keanu Reeves is not a great actor. Did anyone see him on Saturday Night Live? Stiff as a board. Only rivaled by Nancy Kerrigan and Steven Seagal...thats bad! And for those reviewers who insist that the reason someone might knock this movie is because we don't understand it...what a crock!
That having been said I still liked this movie. The special effects were pretty entertaining. You genuinely disliked the bad guys. My favorite character was the Oracle (played by Gloria Foster who I believe unfortunately has since passed away). Yes some of the plot was hoakey...especially the kiss and coming back to life scene. Geez like no one saw that coming!
I was still entertained and felt like I'd gotten my money's worth so I recommend it to those looking for decent sci-fi/action without having to engage their brain. Definitely not for fans of New York ballet.
