Why would you want this film to be like the Matrix?

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2000)

X-Men was an excellent movie, and for those of you that thought it needed to have a more 'Matrix-like' feeling, I don't know what's wrong with you. The Matrix certainly did have a lot more action and fight scenes and it certainly did have a lot less plot and character development. Unfortunately, that's why The Matrix sucked. While The Matrix relied solely on special effects to sell it, X-Men had a story. So, if you're hoping for some 'Matrix-like' film, see Hollowman. If you'd like to see a movie with a plot and some well-developed characters, see X-Men.
