I REALLY Liked this Movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2010)

I bought The Matrix out of just pure curiosity, I had heard that it was one of the best movies of all time in both effects and story. I thought, "Yeah, it may be good, but the effects are probably outated and the story will be really hard to follow." Not to mention, I had seen so many spoofs of this movie, especially the bullet time sequence so how could this movie live up to the ten years of hype.
Well, it did, this movie was not only a smart sci-fi film, it was also a hugely entertaining film as well.
It's not 100% original, OK, I get it, that's seems to be the only reason people dislike this movie.
But you know what, just because it isn't one hundred percent original doesn't mean it still can't be great. I loved the plot of this film, it wasn't overly confusing, it's was smart, but easy to follow. The effects are still amazing, I love the scene where he is being shot by Mr. Smith and doges the bullets. Now I know why everyone wants to parody it, because it looks freakin awesome. The characters are likable, and there's a feeling of suspense.
A lot of people hate the Matrix because it was called original. Well, no, The Matrix wasn't the most original movie of all time when it came out, and it sure isn't now, but it's still an amazing film.
