Wicked!

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2003)

I'd seen this movie about 3 times before and didn't understand or like it. That may be because I didn't want to but I have recently become a bit of a sci fi freak and bourght it at discount on DVD. I now have to put it up there in my top 10 faveourite movies ever!
It's brilliat, the action, drame, SFX..... I have very few thigs to complain about.
Actually, only 2. 1) When Neo was shooting that big old machine gun through the window, how in the hell did he not hit Morpheous? I know the whole film isn't exactly realistic, but come on!!! 2)Trinity kissing Neo magivally brings him back to the reall world. CHEESY!!!! I'm all for a good soppy romance but this film wasn't the place for it. I think they're quite sweet and would like to see their relationship develop but it was all just a bit tacky!
The thing I was most impressed about (especially after watching the making of special feature) was that all the stunt work is done by the actual actors. I loath action films when you can blatently tell it's a stunt double and the camera conviniantly cuts away at the right moment. It added so much to the 'wow factor' when you saw all the action, not just the bits they wanted you to see.
Some of the dialogue was fantastic too. I love Trinity's "Dodge This!" comment to agent Smith right before she shoots him in the back of the head. Classic!
Sci fi freaks will love this! Action freaks will love this! Actually, I defy anyone to watch this and not be blown away by the special effects and original plot line!
9.99999999999 out of 10!
