In Reply to: The Matrix was a poor movie>(In my opinion)> posted by Tranny on March 01, 2000 at 08:45:19:
I didn't really like "The Matrix" either, but I simply mentioned it as it is jam-packed with special effects. As for the Oscars, I don't think that makes any difference. Look at the Backstreet Boys, they're popular, does that make them good? Well, not in my book.Saving Private Ryan, now there's a good movie.

Unfortunately, I don't think Private Ryan will endure the test of time. I thoughly enjoyed the theatrical experience but have no desire to ever see it again.
I've only seen it once, in the theater, and it was a great experience. I agree with you, it's the sort of movie that losing something on repeat viewings. Still, it is what a great movie is supposed to be. For me, that means that it is one of a handful that actually made me rethink certain paradigms that I hold.RichardH
I find that I enjoy replayable stuff much more even upon 1st viewing. (e.g: I just replayed my "My Girl" LD tonight) I find myself stating that I want the film on LD when I leave the flick. I did that with "Matrix" & I'm not a Keanu fan (a DiCaprian actor). I thought it was a nice blend of "Lost in Space" & "Avengers". It had tons of effects that was harmoniously emblished with interjected style. The result was techincal equivalent of the "Oxbow Incident" in its cimenatic beauty. Where did this scenerio break down for you?
I thought if the ending had been a little more imaginative it would have really been a great movie, I still think it was pretty good though.
