A `review-proof' `Matrix' hits the cinemas running

"Even those who saw the first Matrix and loved it and then saw the second Matrix and weren't in love are still going to want to know how it ends," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks box office revenue. "Like many of these hugely successful movies, most get trashed by the critics, but they have such broad appeal they are almost review-proof."
