Film: The Matrix
Tagline: Woah. Everybody loves this movie, but is it really the masterpiece everyone says it is?
This review contains examples of:
- AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: Agent Schmuck calls the Critic "Mister nost-ALGiacritic".
- Armor-Piercing Question: "Why is there a Matrix?"
- Black Comedy:
- In the scene where Morpheus is defeated by Agent Smith, then the SWAT team comes in and beat him with their billy clubs, Critic denotes not much has changed since 1999.
- Critic calls Neo and Trinity's Badass Longcoat as dressing up like those kids who wanted attention in high schools.
- Embarrassing First Name: Critic refers to Neo with his original name, Tom, consistently throughout the review. And throughout the reviews of the sequels.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: The Matrix Raining Code at the start includes "stupid", "pretentious", "heavy handed", "dated", and "artsy". It also includes symbols from Pac-Man, the Triforce, the Star Trek Federation logo, and The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
- Impractically Fancy Outfit: Malcolmus and Tamarity wear leather that squeaks so loudly they can't be heard speaking over it, and is so tight they can't fight.
- Informed Ability: Critic points this out about Neo, as the movie claims Neo is this genius hacker but he has to be reassured what an AI is and another had to explain to him what an EMP was.
- Logic Bomb: How the Critic defeats Agent Schmuck.
- Running Gag: When the Critic says he didn't like The Matrix, everyone assumes he means the
sequels. - So Okay, It's Average: The Critic thinks it's an okay film, but not the groundbreaker that others do.
- Straw Fan: Agent Schmuck.
- Take That!Critic: He's caught up in making philosophical speeches than talking at me like a real person.Malcolmus: Yes, we call that "Nolaning".
You mean artificial intelligence?
