Matrix "Corroded"

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2003)

I saw the movie on May 16th and I want my money back. The ONLY redeeming part of the movie was the freeway scene. Excellent action that was not overdone by bad digital imaging such as the courtyard scene. I felt that I was watching a video game through most of the movie and a poorly developed one at that.
I also don't mind sex in movies when it makes sense, but the sex in this movie was out of place. For instance, when Morpheus, Trinity and Neo went to look for the Keymaker, they were in a restaurant that had a Frenchman in it that was discussing the following: (gist) "...people continue to do things even though they don't know why..." Essentially, people will continue to do things (even those that may be harmful to you) and you cannot explain why. Unfortunately, Hollywood reared it's ugly head and they put a blonde in there that had an orgasm from eating cake. Now I took a poll of about 15 people sitting around me when the show was over and NO ONE understood why that was in there. If she had continued to eat the cake and knew that she was going to die...then THAT would have illustrated his point. Not to mention Neo kissing the French woman in front of Trinity. WHAT THE HELL DID THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!?!?!?! It wasn't sexy, it was uncomfortable and out of place.
THE MATRIX HAS GONE HOLLYWOOD! The first one was fantastic. This one sucked. I want my money back. I will not buy the second DVD. Also, most of my friends have decided to wait until the DVD comes out and is a 5 day rental before seeing it. I'd advise you do the same.
