To be honest, I'd expected this be some stupid flick. A bunch of my friends had seen The Matrix and most of them didn't really like it. I thought they'd be right, since most of the time they have the same taste as me (or they eventually will get the same taste as me, as for Star Wars, which they didn't really like at all at first, but now they do ^_^) so I thought this movie would be dull and boring.

I was positively surprised. The story is actually really good, and so is the acting. I'm not a fan of Keanu Reeves, but he was great as Neo. Same for Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne. The much-talked-about special effects are really great as well.

There were some flaws though, in my humble opinion. Much of the dialogues were just too cliché, as were some of the characters (Cypher, Tank). Sometimes the movie got a little bit dull (at about half of the movie) but towards the ending it got better again. Still, as I said, not bad at all.
