Exciting summer flick

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2003)

I just saw the Matrix Reloaded. It was humorless, pseudo-intellectual, needlessly complicated, and the fight scenes were tensionless and too long. I didn't like it. So it was nice to see T3 was the exact opposite. Though it started out a little slowly, there were plenty of humorous moments, the plot was simple (supposedly there were continuity issues with the other movies, but even though I saw T2 twice, I didn't notice), the actions scenes were well done, and there were even moments of real emotion. As long as you accept T3 for what it is -- an action movie with no depth -- you will thoroughly enjoy it.
