Are you serious?

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2002)

Of all the feelings that went through me as I watched the Matrix, the overwhelming emotion was disgust. Can anyone pick a contemporary movie with so many crude references to christianity? Morpheus as John the baptist; Trinity as an interesting (though the name "Trinity" should have been a tip-off for even the most doltish viewer) Mary Magdala; Keanu Reeves as (gasp!) Christ. Not only is the acting putrid but the film relies mostly on special effects and this ridiculous plotline. If the viewer wants to see action, rent an old John Woo movie made in Hong Kong (The Killer and Hard Boiled spring to mind). If you want a movie with cool effects, catch The Bride had White Hair. Skip this drivel unless you have had a lobotomy recently. If that were the case, I scarcely believe you would be reading this.
