"The Matrix" starts out in a quite promising way and manages to build a curious background for a potentially good story, but gradually gets more and more tedious. Lots of pointless fillers, mediocre acting, ridiculous, dull and overstretched fighting scenes all unite to create a tiresome narrative soaked in nonsense.

I was on the verge of just turning this off out of boredom after an hour in, but kept reassuring myself that a movie with an average score so high just can't be capable of disappointing. Apparently, The matrix managed to do exactly what I didn't expect: it left me empty, but not because of the fact that I've got overwhelmed with emotions and got stunned with the story, unfortunately it's just because of the fact that "The Matrix" turned out to be unfathomably dull.

It's actually astonishing how such a big amount of money and talent can be wasted on something like that. What I've just watched was basically a load of fancy effects pretty much without a movie.
