Default Re: Popular (book, movie, etc) that you simply don\'t like.

The Matrix: Every liked it because it was an action flick with a "complicated" story line.

Yes, it had fifteen minutes at the start, and fifteen minutes at the end. But what about the two hours in the middle that was "here is the story." Okay, tell me once, review once and only once, please. But no, they review, review, retell, restate ad infinitum. Ugh. The movie could have been 45 minutes and been the masterpiece it supposedly was.

I also blame this movie for the cheapening and over-use of CGI, using as a crutch to awe without telling stories. This movie ruined movies for a full decade.
