>>> "I actually drifted off to sleep during Matrix." <<<

Well, with Matrix, I only drifted off after the first film, which I felt was a well told story and had merit as perhaps the only effective film visualization (among many attempts) of the cyber-punk genre. It's sequels are another kettle of fish (all of which rotted from the head down). With Matrix's II & III one can barely muster up enough interest to contemplate "what were those dudes thinking?" So, if you drifted off during the first one I'd recommend avoiding the others at all cost unless you run out of Sominex!

>>> "EW is really tough on crap movies and TV." <<<

Too often EW has really missed the mark, and I don't mean in a close call, but more like 180 degrees. I've read some of EW's reviews where the magazine's policy seemed geared toward handing assignments to critics who were known to attack specific genres with gusto. On more than a few occasions this was done without giving those genre television programs and films a fair appraisal. This may have been out of the personal prejudices of the reviewer(s) or the editorial staff, or perhaps because the opinions would guarantee a reaction. In any event, eight or ten years ago EW alienated my wife and I enough that we didn't renew our subscription.
