*Retch*

Rating: 2/10 (13 May 1999)

That such a derivative and badly-done movie is the most popular film in the United States at the moment is saddening. The inevitable CGI FX (for what it's worth, better than any seen before) coupled with awful acting on Reeves' part and a plot structure that allows for about an hour and a half of exposition all add up to... one over-hyped blockbuster. And what's that romantic interest all about? Accck! I'm voting 1 on this one out of spite. Please have mercy, Keanu! The most edifying thing about The Matrix is the main characters' clothing.
