what a waste of a good concept

Rating: 3/10 (20 May 2003)

In short, this movie is proof that all the special effects in the world will never make up for the lack of a decent plot and acting. Those who've seen it can't disagree with the pathetic nature of
Morpheus' speech, the blatant efforts to make this "the Star Wars of the new millenium" (complete with Ewok-like parties, and council members' meetings). Let me continue, the exchange between Neo and the counselor "I see, we need the machines and they need us, is that your point?", the cheesy "Baby I wanna see more of you at home", "Sorry, I'm doing this for all of us" scene seemed almost racist to me, I dunno, I saw this 3 days ago and I'm still annoyed that I threw my money away. They should have left it at number one.
