So, what was the fuzz about (spoilers)

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2003)

«Spoilers» aplenty.
Bound and the first Matrix, while not very good films had some redeeming «qualities». It has gone from bad to worse since then. The end is sound and fire, and nothing besides. The expression «the emperor has no clothes» comes to mind time and time again in this predictable yawn. But that's generally the case with all religion, so it shouldn't surprise anyone. Trinity's death, Neo's sacrifice, Neo losing the battle, but winning the war, the young «ace» saving the day (and much, much more), everything is so very, very trite and predictable.
The success has destroyed the little originality the directors possessed, that's for sure. People who are claiming this to be a deep spiritual experience must be shallow indeed.
I don't dislike Matrix the movie, but I dislike very much Matrix - the phenomena. It's very telling about how shallow our world has become when this is hailed as the most spiritual movie in decades.
