Has its Ups and Downs

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2003)

Well don't want to get too deep into conversation about this as I only have so much typing time right now, so I'll get down to the basic...
It's a great movie ... if you are into the action, and special effects. And I must admit, there are some that are very impressive, and some that just made me twitch because you could tell a character was CGI or not.
As for story ... there were plenty of amusingly funny lines, but there were some scenes I think could have been taken out, I mean after a 10 minute fighting scene I think it gets a little boring after a while, and then 5 minutes after the fight scene it goes back to another 10 minute scene. Oh, and I'm SO sure they needed the rave scene, I'm sorry, although my friends seem to think it's the best part of the movie, it's just a bore waiting to be ended, and all it did was disturb me when ever I saw the holes in Neo's back.
Now, the freeway scene, which for half of it was amazing, and the other half was just ... eh .. like when Trinity drives the motorcycle in the wrong direction on the freeway it really seems like the camera is just fallowing her through and under the cars. However, when there is a fight on top of the truck, you can SO tell they use that old fashioned way of filming one of those scenes with the screen moving while the characters fight ... just so disturbed me, but I guess that's probably the best they could do.
Well I guess it's about a 7/10 ... I'm pretty sure ... it's great and all but sometimes I feel the rabbit hole can only go so far.
