    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.

        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.

      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.
