Entertaining movie if you don't think about reality. Keanu is great eye candy and does a good job of keeping the intensity of the situation going through out the film. Bullock does a good job of playing … more

While it's been put aside by biggerer and betterer movies, watch this one again and tell me that it still isn't a calssic action movie that has thrills and keeps the splatter down.
Speed. An action movie with little violence but high on thrills and spills. Other movies try for bigger and better or more accurately messier and more extreme. Yes I know this is coming … more

If only for the innovative filming techniques, this movie is a must see. It is unfortunate that the story could not carry the momentum through parts II and III. The philosophy in the movie is interesting … more

This movie has it all. Fast paced action, phenomenal visuals, superb photography, great soundtrack, weird weird plot, and some pretty good acting. I really don't care much for Keanu Reeves, which unfortunately … more

Beginning this review I was writing the film's title and ended up with "The Mainstream" (100% accident) which pretty much sums up the premise of The Matrix franchise. The Matrix is good in the fact that … more
If one could rate a movie's greatness by how many other copy it, then the Matrix has to be one of the greatest movies of all time. This movie was the first US film to use "bullet time" whereby entire … more
