A couple of disappointments, but still okay

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 2001)

While not particularly the best film I've ever seen, 'The Matrix', surprisingly enough, was actually as good as it was hyped up to be (unlike a lot of other movies).
For the most part, it reached my expectations with its interesting plot and terrific effects, but unfortunately, it had a couple of disappointing factors.
First of all, I have to give it credit for the sufficient amount of fighting action throughout the film. Though, I'm not sure if it was just me, but their martial arts looked rather slow and a tad bit unconvincing (i.e. The scene where Neo and Morpheus are fighting each other in the Matrix).
Secondly, and probably the most disappointing of all is the fact that romance had to ruin the ending. Personally, I think this movie could have done without the Neo-Trinity love spark at the end as I was definitely not expecting it to happen. But since they're creating a sequel to 'The Matrix', I hope they make up for it big time!
