The Matrix
Everyone seems to say what a great movie this is but... I dunno... I just don't like it. I'm not sure it pisses me off, but I really don't see what all the fuss is about.

Well... maybe I'm slow on the uptake... but I just found it all too confusing, right from the start. I like a movie where you can follow the plot easily. Perhaps I have a poor attention span.

It's a kind of dark movie actually. The premise of the movie is that you're essentially trapped in this world. This planet "earth" is essentially a prison. That's the kind of message this movie has.

It's an ok movie, it was the special effects that hyped it up and sadly for a group of people out there that is enough to make it a great movie, others require a decent storyline and good acting.
The Matrix doesn't stand out as superb or atrocious, it's just one of the crowd in my opinion.

Have you watched V for Vendetta? If so, what did you think about it?
I ask this question because both movies are written by Wachowski bothers, and there are certain similarities.

I think the movie actually had a number of messages, dpending on which level you looked for it. On interesting thought was the idea that we have all effectively been reduced to battery cells powering the current world (society, economy etc), and have no idea of how to be free since our purpose gets dictated to us through our peception of our environment.

Same here.
Matrix 1 is a great movie.
2 wasn't that good anymore, and 3 was the worst...
