Unbelievable in parts...overdone in others

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2003)

I think the best way to sum this one up is to say that it is most unbelievable mediocre movie ever made. Or maybe it is the most mediocre unbelievable movie ever made. Anyway, the action in this movie is bar none but in the same vane I think many scenes are overdone. Some action scenes were so long as to lose their initial flair and became quite simply..redundant. The dialogue also flutters between bar none and just plain cheesy. For example, Morpheus's speech before the rave scene was about as bad as they come. All in all, it is an amazing movie that became victim to its own gross excessiveness. Nonetheless, I ended up seeing the movie 3 times and would not attest to seeing it many more times. 8/10.
