I'm one of those who really get easily scared by movies, and especially horror movies, of course. I'm so easy scared that it's almost embarrassing. It doesn't even really have to happen anything; if the mood is at least done almost right, I can sit in intense suspense and wait for something to happen.
So the strange thing about this movie is: I did not get scared. I mean - I probably jumped a bit in the seat one or two times, and I think I felt a bit, and only a bit, of suspense maybe three or four minutes together, during the whole movie.
That must mean that they hardly did anything right, right? And that's right - they hardly did anything right: Most of the supposed-to-be-scare-stuff happened in broad daylight. I mean, how scary is broad daylight? And the mentioned stuff was for a big part filmed from far away, and how scary is stuff that is filmed from far away? Another thing: what did they do with the screen all the time?!? That division-stuff - disturbing!!! And I still wonder how the lead-lady figured out the secret of "now is the 13th year, so they are going to kill 13 people", for instance. Much of the plotting was completely not understandable.
Okay, one cool thing to end with: the start really freaked me out - with the place-to-place- and time-jumping.
Oh, did I mentioned that much of the acting (though not all) was completely laughable? The bad-guy-laughter from the three Zombies by the lake near the end was probably the most artificial (both concerning acting and directing) I've ever seen - and I've seen my share of oldies.

I've quickly seen through some of the comments and marks gain to the Matrix on this page, and I think it must be because of all the hype that people seem to either worship or hate it. For me it has been a little bit too long since I saw it, but remember that I liked it. Okay, it's not perfect, but got good action sequences and message that may not be extremely deep, fantastic or intelligent, but at least it got one, and it's not a bad one.
Yes, it is a rather good and entertaining movie, even though there must be little doubt that the effects have done much to its rumour. The effects are much of the film, but no too much. It does have some brain too.
To me it has been a really influential movie, mainly because of one of the absolutely coolest bad guys in the history of movies. Hugo Weaving's agent Smith is way up there among Jack Nickolson's Joker and Darth Vader. He really became one of my top favourite actors only because of this movie. I don't care very much about the roles of Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne or that gal-person, and I really don't why so many people do - Hugo Weaving is the really interesting character here. I see him way to rarely, and he was a bit of a disappointment in LOTR.
Loved to read that he's going to play in V for Vendetta (why care about that bimbo then?), but it's a bit too bad that he's going to wear a mask. With that face! What a waste...
