BETTER THAN STAR WARS!

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2000)

SINCE there are over 2000 reviews on this film already, there is not much more I can add, but....
Special effects are the best I have ever seen. Keanu Reeves acting is his best yet. The story and plot is fascinating. Supporting cast are excellent. Action scenes are awesome!
I have seen dozens of science fiction movies, very few of them have lived up to my expectations. For example, check out the utter lousiness of Hollow Man and Species 2! The Matrix is one of those few films I have really enjoyed and given a 10/10.
I am surprised to see so many reviewers comparing this film to Star Wars Phantom Menace. That flick was dumbed down to suit pre-pubescent teeny boppers, never mind adult audiences, with atrocities like (dare I say) Jar Jar Binks and lame C.G.I! The Matrix, however, is far superior to the over-rated, over-hyped S.T.P.M.
CONCLUSION: Mr Lucas should watch this film a few times to see how C.G.I should really be employed to its best advantage in a movie. Darth Maul, eat your heart out!
