The Matrix Characters Must Have Been Loaded

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2003)

Ok, so it's not a clever one line summary, but neither was the film.

Great CGI effects, but plot and dialogue were entirely lacking. Some parts were almost funny, they were so bad. The viewer was exposed to cycles of pyscho-babble masquerading for dialoge and wisdom, interminable silences and lengthy fight sequences. The movie makers do not ask the audience for 'suspension of disbelief' but a complete frontal lobotomy. Perhaps they could offer these at the concession stand?
"Uh, I'll have a lobotomy, and a large Diet Coke." "You want popcorn with that?"
What I don't understand is how can the viewers rate this movie an 8 overall, yet they fail to make comments. I'd estimate that 80% of the 60 or so I read were all negative and disappointed.
