Most definitely an unpopular opinion. When the Matrix originally released it was a technical marvel, that moment Neo is dodging the bullets in slow motion was incredible. I think as the years have gone on the story has lost some of its charm because the wachowskis have been butchering the franchise to try and protect it in some strange way. As a standalone movie The Matrix story and technical implementation were phenomenal, as soon as they made sequels, and other movies started to copycat, it began to lose that magic
Yesh, the first 15 mins is all action and then suspense as Neo gets the message about following the rabbit. Other than stylish execution, standard action movie stuff.

Technically it was a marvel. Visually stunning.
I saw it with some coworkers who were 15 years younger than me, and one of our managers who was 25 years older than me.
He and I looked at each other in the first 15 minutes and just shook our heads. Our younger coworkers were awed.
It was a lame conflation of a bunch of myths that I’d read in books written in the 50’s and 60’s, and some stuff taken from different religions.
That never happened. You’re either just trolling or just severely revising history. My bet is trolling.
Edit: looking at your comment history, you probably just don’t like trans people.

I have some bad news for you. The books written in the 50s and 60s were inspired by prior books and included stuff taken from different religions.
