Matrix Madness

Do you know what? "What?" I hear you answer. Well, I'm sick of broadsheets like The Times being full of features about films that you know for certain will be damned by their film critics as soon as they are released. And, guesss what? "What?" I hear you say. The Times has been full of stories about The Matrix Reloaded, and quite predictably their critic, Barbara Ellen, in the T2 section, 22 May 2003, calls it a good looking dud.

My solution is they sack these critics and get ones in-line with the rest of the paper's editorial policy, or they stop promoting films just because they know they are popular but beneath their critical contempt. It would be great if they gave as much exposure to films they really believed in.

Rant over...
