i feel dumber for having seen this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2003)

The script was terrible, Keanu still can't act, Zion was a laugh-riot, and the "plot" was simply a way to get from one fight scene to another. Don't get me wrong, the special effects were amazing....but computers have come so far that no digital effects are really shocking anymore.
However, and what really angers me, is that everyone talks about the cool philosophy and/or theology of the Matrix series. I just got my degree in philosophy, so I won't pretend to be an expert, but, the "philosophy" of the Matrix would have Descartes rolling in his grave. This movie ambles aimlessly from a summer-school reading of the Meditations, to a shameless Plantinga rip-off, to Pascal's wager, to god-only-knows what other misinterpretation the Wachowski brothers remember from their PHI 101 days. For my money, they should have stopped after their first film (and i mean Bound, not the Matrix).
