From Jeremy Robinson Why 'The Matrix' has created so much discussion is as overdone as 'Blade Runner'. What a bore. 'Total Recall' and 'Minority Report' are far superior on every level to either movie. 'The Matrix' was only useful in allowing Yuen Wo-Ping to develop his action choreography up to the level of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', a staggering movie. Reeves, Weaving and Fishburne in 'The Matrix' are so clunky, so ungraceful! And 'The Matrix' climaxes with the silliest, most cliched ending: Carrie-ANne Moss bringing Keanu back from the dead by uttering the three magic words. Yeah, like that's gonna happen! And this is a 'cool' movie? Ditto 'Memento': why all the fuss? There's isn't time to waste on stuff like 'The Matrix' or 'Memento'. There was nothing at stake in 'Memento', and it was shoddily put together, with only Guy Pearce as eye candy to pass the time (and 'Memento' has dreary Carrie-Anne Moss again).
