Pros: Great action and visuals...fun, semi-campy vibe. Cons: Some cheesy dialogue, and holes in the plot.
After years of amusing the masses by posing as an actor, then exploring new levels of absurdity with his rock band Dogstar, Keanu Reeves has finally found something he's actually good at. Who would have thought his true calling would be as a Kung Fu...

Pros: brilliant special effects Cons: poor storyline
As 'Total Film' so rightly put it: "the action movie of the millennium." 'The Matrix' is written about the perception that 'the everyday world is real'; as we all know, the world is just one giant computer program which keeps us in sublime...

Pros: gripping story and great special effects Cons: terrible terrible acting by Keanu Reeves. "whoa!"
NOTE: NO SECRETS WILL BE GIVEN AWAY IN THIS REVIEW
"The Matrix" is a movie that I've seen about half a dozen times and every time I watch it, I enjoy it more and more.
First of all, the premise of the movie is one that...

Pros: Special Effects, Excellent Plot, Phenomenal Acting Cons: Non-Refreshing Ending
I will Try to keep it short and sweet. The Matrix was unbelievable. When I first saw the Matrix, I thought it would be just a 2-hour long special effects show. That it was, but in those beautiful effects lurked a deep, well-thought out, intriguing...

Pros: special effects, fight scenes Cons: a bit hard to grasp the concept but you can role with it
I was dieing to see this movie the first time i saw the trailer. The special effects and cast cought my eye. This is definetly one of Reeves's better movies.
The plot is a little difficult to follow if you dont pay attention, but the action and...

Pros: The Matrix has an interesting plot. Cons: Unfortunately, the plot is not believable.
Years ago, Sci-Fi presented us with things that were possible, however impossible they seemed. Most sci-fi presentations left us with some sense of believability, no matter how futuristic the story was. The Matrix does not do that.
Keanu...

by LegalOpinion , Apr 24 '00
Pros: (I know I'm repeating myself) The Special Effects Cons: A few logic skips and some weak dialogue
Without a doubt, some of the absolute best and blow-you-away special effects yet. The slow motion martial arts, the gravity defying stunts and the freeze framing action supports the story line.
The story is about a computer hacker who works...

Pros: makes you really think... Cons: moves very fast
At first I didn't really want to see this movie, seeing as how Keanu Reeves was in it. I didn't really fall in love with any of the other movies I'd seen him in (except Dracula). But I heard everyone saying how good this movie was, so I decided to hop...

Pros: Good Plot, Visuals, and music Cons: They need a television show!!!
Most science fiction movies tend to just skim the surface and don't really bring the viewer within the realms of their walls and engulf your mind making you believe you're really there experiencing all that goes on in your surroundings. If there ever...

Pros: Great special effects and narrative substance Cons: Occasionally painful dialogue, more could have been done
Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne...all the makings for a bad movie...or so I thought before watching The Matrix. This was no Johnny Mnemotic or Event Horizon, which I feared upon first renting the film (I didn't even want to see it in the...

Pros: Great edition Cons: Not for you if you do not like action
I cannot say enough about this movie. It is one of the finest combination of excellent story and amazing cinematography that I have ever seen. I own both the VHS and the DVD, and I highly recommend the DVD over the VHS. Why?
For starters, DVDs...

Pros: Great movie for the people with an open mind Cons: Not so good for people that don't like thinking deep into the movie that they are watching
Wow,
I missed this movie when it first came out in the movie theatre, what a big mistake!!! Movie's that I watch, have to keep me in suspense. Otherwise, I'll stop watching the movie. This science-fiction movie was the best, "keep you on...
