Don't believe the hype

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2001)

What makes this movie so good? Please tell me, I watched it once, and thought it was fairly OK, I borrowed it on DVD from a friend, who thinks it is the best movie of all time (which it is not) and tried to watch it again, but found my thoughts drifting away the whole time. Yes, I know this movie tries to convey a message, doesn't every movie, and the visual FX are fairly impressive, but watching it repeatedly just doesn't seem to make it better. My favourite movie of all time? I really can't say, there have been loads of movies i like, Matrix just isn't one of them. Sorry...
