i saw this movie BEFORE the hype, and it was just another movie. It didn't shock me or effect me at all. sure, the special effects were cool, but the plot was..well, recycled. i didn't get an original feel from it. The acting was VERY mediocre. Keanu Reeves is horrible, and will never be able to carry a movie. Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne were good.However, I'm sick of people LOVING this and saying it is the best PICTURE of 1999! if you want to see a REALLY good movie, go check out CROUCHING TIGER,HIDDEN DRAGON or BILLY ELLIOT....
