"Its like wiping your ass with silk"

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2003)

I think that line can pretty much sum up how I feel about this film.
I didn't go in with any high expectations because I didn't want to get disappointed. But even that didn't help. There were some many times I wanted to just laugh at this movie. Especially when Morpheus addressed the people of Zion. And that sex scene that followed! Completely pointless and not tasteful at all. As for the action, I believe the producers spent so much time on their "money shots" that they forgot about everything else. I had a I hard time with the terrible CGI that took place in the Mr. Smiths fight scene (it made the CGI in Harry Potter look good). As for the acting, well obviously thats not what they cared about. Neo and Trinity's relationship felt cold (if I even felt anything from them) and Keanu's acting hasn't changed since Bill and Teds. That one line when Mr. Smith said something like "you use all your muscles but the one that matters the most" almost made me falling out of my chair laughing from the irony.
Over all, the action scenes couldn't cover up everything. No matter what you wipe your butt with, its still sh*t.
