I've read most of al gore's movie reviews which you have been kind enough to transcribe for FR. This is the first one I've agreed with. I think I feel a bit ill.

Why not just raise chickens for their battery power?

Good question.

[LanPB01]

I agree with Al Gore.

Wow, that felt wrong even typing it.

I agree with a lot of what the phony Al Gore says, but IMHO the battle with the dozens upon dozens of Agent Smiths makes the movie, and is one of the most amazing action scenes in the history of cinema.

I never figured out why the machines had to use humans for battery power. If they needed to use living organisms for battery power, chickens would make a much better choice. Plus even if you bothered to write a computer program for a virtual reality for chickens, it would be so much simpler than an alternate reality program for humans.

Let's remake Casablanca with dozens upon dozens of Ricks.

This makes me even gladder this guy didn't win the election.

Some of the theories floating around are that the machines are not actually using the humans for the stated purpose (remember, the machines have a "form of fusion" for power as well).

And as for the incomprehensibility of the plot, it's only complicated inosfar as the Gnostic mythology from which it is derived is rather difficult to convey to the MTV generation.

May you turn to stone for wanting to tamper with perfection

Al gives good review.

With all due repect to Mr. Bogart - How about hundreds of Ingred Bergmann's instead?

:-)

Until he mentioned THE KISS I thought it was a good review. I think he's a decent writer. Just thank God he ain't the President.

The only thing Al Gore every word of which with I agree. (Notice how the preceding sentence doesn't end with a preposition?)

[PJ-Comix]

Uh-Oh. The Matrix Acolytes on the FR will probably excommunicate you for that. A lot of folks actually treat that whole Matrix Shtick like it's some sort of real philosophy that should be taken seriously.

[JmyBryan]

Saw the IMAX Saturday - By far, my most impressive motion picture experience to date.

(Also, IMHO the movie requires a second viewing to understand the possibilities offered in it's script/character development.)

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

"eventuality of an anomaly"

A shorter way of saying: In a complex system like the Matrix, something unplanned for and unexpected is going to occur at some point. The anomaly that crops up is Neo.

[VadeRetro]

The Matrix Acolytes on the FR will probably excommunicate you for that.

English enthusiasts won't be pleased either. Once more into the breach, dear friends!

This review is the only thing Al Gore ever wrote every word of which with I agree.

That said, yes. I was stunned at how bad this movie was.

Owl Gore just invented the "bad movie review"
