expectations, lose 'em and enjoy the ride!

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2003)

Jesus you lot, it's a MOVIE for chris' sake, not the answer to life the Universe and all that! Firstly, none of you lot WROTE the damn thing so all those wines about it not not going where YOU want it too...Matrix within a matrix?! perleese it's supposed to be a fun and emotive experience, stop looking for the catch, the secret no-one else noticed except you coz you're so IMPORTANT. Of course the first is seen as the best, it had none of you lot itching to smash it, it had the element of surprise. Essentially the premise of the mythology is ludicrous and totally unbelievable, that's what fantasy IS! Thank GOD the W Bros didn't take it as seriously as you lot. All in all, beautifully done. I really cared for the characters in the end, Niobe is a KILLER, her reunion (almost) with Morpheus so well done, (he's put in his place) only Human after all. All those loose ends? Why must it be a neat package for you? You got all those little questions but it's the unseen always that makes for a good story. Persophene had her bit, no need for more, the trilogy would have gone on forever to satisfy you all.
All in all you have NEVER seen films like these before but you are all TOO post modern and smart-arse to relax and enjoy the view.
Kick back, suspend your disbelief willing and just soak up the ride.
Go see this film. BEAUTIFUL!
