Horrible film and very overrated

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2003)

Spoiler!!! I'm not even going to complain about the 40 minutes it takes to actually start or the ninja turtlesq fight choreography but I'm going to go right to the heart. The supposed "deep, mindbending twist" of the Matrix which lies in the conversation with the Architect. In essence the architect says "some people reject the Matrix and we can't stop them so we created Neo to lead a revolution that ends with everyone dying and the Matrix starting over" which is basically a premise that makes you go "ok so". Then it turns out that the one thing that machines didn't count on was love. Oh how quaint and how unoriginal. How is that mindbending? How is that interesting, unique or even memorable? It's not and neither is the rest of the film. People don't get it and therefore they think it must be deep. But I just broke it down for you...get over it. This film should be titled Reload Warner Brothers wallets.
