okay, but not the work of genius many say it is...

I really liked the Matrix when I first saw it but have changed my opinions since seeing it a number of times since. I really don't think I could sit through it ever again, there is only so much you can get out of people in sunglasses doing cartwheels while firing two Uzis at the same time. What really p*sses me off is when people go 'oh it's sooo confuing, it's just soo intelligent, the story is just sooooooo mind-boggling!' YEAH RIGHT! It's not like you need to be Albert-feckin'-Einstein to work it out!! The acting is unbelievably corny and whenever the script calls for any real emotion (which doesnt happen often in this music video.. oh sorry .. film) the actors arent upto it. Unless it gets amazing reviews then I will not be going to see the sequel- save your money for Star Wars Episode 2 and The Two Towers (lord of the rings part2). p.s- and the effects aren't all that.
