The Matrix is about as sloppy as you can get...

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2001)

You know, when i first saw this movie in theatres, i really liked it. I bought it the second it came out on VHS and have since probably watched it three or four times. But i never once thought ( like so many of you) that it was anything more than an cool action movie.
The matrix is about as sloppy as you can get in its plot design, it doesnt seem to know where it's going. It doesnt dare to do anything original, except during the fights.
SPOILER
It created what - like four characters - whose sole purpose was to die, were they even given a personality ... nah i dont think so. They were there so they could be used during a plot twist. Now speaking of that plot twist, how did Cypher get into the matrix, Tank had to have programed him in didnt he... If you can recall how much times Agent Smith referred to Neo as "Mr. Anderson" give yourself a pat on the back. Why did he keep calling him that you ask? Well, so Neo could have a cool one liner..." My name...is Neo..."
Yes, quite cool indeed, And for all you macho guys out there, how do you stand by a film with such a pathetic ending. Neo dies. He's dead, his heart stopped, he stopped living. Oh, but wait ( think of sleeping beauty) Trinity gives him a gentle peck, says " I love you" and BHAM! he's back to life, and he's "the one"
END SPOILER
And as for the actual story... umm dark city, metropolis..yeah i guess everyone is right, The matrix is one of the most orignal, thought provoking movies of our time...Yeah i waked out and i kept thinking about how real the story was, how we could be living in such a world right now...See, now i was kidding, but what scares me, is that sooooo many of you weren't...

And as for the action, while some parts where really well exectued, most were just Hong Kong, acion movie rip off's... Rent any one of Jet Li's earlier movies, or any John woo movie too see what i mean.

3.5/10
