Matrix
6/05: Well, ladies and gentlemen, we've got a leading contender for the Most Overrated Film of the 20th Century: The Matrix!

I can say it's the one that marked the beginning of the end of cinema as I know it. One question: if the agents are supposed to be machines, why is their aim always imperfect? What a slow movie. I can leave in the middle of the scene to do something for a minute and come back to see I've missed nothing at all.

The Matrix is a waste of Keanu Reeves' and Laurence Fishburne's talents. I guess money must be important to them. I wouldn't be surprised to learn if they didn't understand what the plot was all about.

All in all, The Matrix is the ultimate picture for IMDb fanboys who happen to be intellectually challenged.
