The cutscenes of the game were also criticized, as there were revised sequences that were unrealistic and compared unfavorably to The Matrix due to the liberal usage of bullet time and over-the-top action. One fan of Metal Gear Solid, Jose Mellinas, is looking to fix part of the problem by restoring the original performances.
