I liked it but it was slow in some parts

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2003)

The movie starts off great with the Trinity dream and then the quick agent fight with Neo, but then it starts to drag once we enter Zion. Zion reminded me a lot of Star Wars and was kind of cliche. I hated the Morpheus speech because I thought it was totally out of character for him. Morpheus is not supposed to yell, it sounded awful and corny and made me start to doubt if the movie would be any good at all. However, the movie picked up after the Morpheus speech with the rave/love scene. The movie kept going until the drag when Neo meets the architect. It's hard to follow this scene because after all of the intense action we watched, we then have to sit and listen to this very monotonous voice that sits still and talks on and on while there are distracting video screens playing behind him. This part of the movie explains the most plot-wise but is also very boring and hard to understand. The MTV Movie Awards did a great spoof of this scene with Will Ferrel playing the architect. When looking at this movie as a whole, I loved it and give it a 10 and I can't wait for the next one to come out. By the way, I had to see it in the theatre three times before I finally understood what the heck the architect was talking about.
