sorry fanboys, it aint that good

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2003)

I saw this movie on Monday evening. there were about 20 people for a "secret" showtime at the theatre. the overall opinion was the movie is "OK". I was there with my friend and his wife. He fell asleep during this film. the action DOES have excellent special effects, but I felt most of the action scenes were too long and drawn out (the car chase was way too long). I know people say that movies like this sometimes take repeated viewings to fully understand, but could someone explain why Neo can do so many things while in the matrix but not others? he has no "kryptonite" so whats holding him back? I will say the scenes that took place in the new world run by machines were outstanding, although i wish there were more of them. like i said the movie is OK, but too inconsistant. It varies from very good (Neo's final confrontation dialogue) to very bad (the stupid scene with the blond woman in the restaraunt)
