THEY NEED TO BRING EVERY CAST MEMBER FROM EVERY SERIES TOGETHER TO MAKE ONE LAST MOVIE.

After my first viewing of the movie, I was in a state of awe! Same thing with my numerous other viewings. The special effects are mind-blowing, up to this very day. The action sequences are some of the best ever (especially the brawl between Neo and Agent Smith at the end). The story is extremely intelligent, and makes you think. Agent Smith is one of the best movie villains ever. And one negative (a rather minor complaint in this case) is the acting overall. It wasn't the very best. I definitely recommend watching this movie if you have not already!

I wasn't sure about this movie when it first came out, but I gave it a go and enjoyed it. The sequels came and went, but they didn't compare to the first. And this was one of the few Keanu Reeves movies I liked, along with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. But this was even better. We also get Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Ann Moss along with Hugo Weaving as the villain (whom I first knew from Babe where he voiced Rex the dog). The special effects really blew me away and the cyberpunk themes really resonated. While The Matrix is not my absolute-favorite cyberpunk film (the original Tron is), it did well for what it set out to become. Do yourself a favor and watch this. Avoid the sequels. This was the crown jewel of the Wachowskis. Let's hope that Keanu Reeves returns for an even better Matrix film soon. I heard he said he'd like to come back on the condition that the Wachowskis will make them. Anyone for seconds?

Cannot get enough of this classic. So many themes incorporated to give the story a deeper philosophical meaning, which are not immediately noticed. Definitely one of those movies that really makes you think. Thought-provoking. Great effects. Intense soundtrack. Excellent story.
