Perhaps The Best Movie EVER

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 1999)

I went to see The Matrix on its opening night in theatres so when it hit dvd i went out and got me a copy. I was one of the few who liked Johnny Mneumonic (or however its spelled) and for the most part liked all Keanu Reeves movies (this and Point Break are the best). I never saw the Wachowski Bros. other movie but i remembered that they were former comic book writers and i love comics especially Heavy Metal, Spawn, etc. The Matrix looks great its beautiful to look at and the special effects are awesome. All the actors did great...i mean really really great in my opinion. I didn't think the movie was hard to follow like some people said, it takes (not copies) things from The Terminator (machines being stronger and enslaving man), the Bible (need i explain), and Hong Kong/Kung Fu movies. Lots say its action is like John Woo but to me its like Tsui Hark, but then again it takes all these things and creates one of the coolest, best, and original movies EVER. I can't say enough about this movie and i applaud Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, Laurence Fishburne, and Hugo Weeving for going through training for the fight scenes. The Wachowski's are now part of my best directors catagory( which also includes George A. Romero, Alex de la Iglesia and others). Also i urge everyone who has HBO to watch Heavy Metal:FAKK when it premieres in March. THE MATRIX IS THE BEST MOVIE OF 1999 AND PERHAPS THE BEST MOVIE EVER.
