Why this isn't the best movie in the world but not the worst.

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2003)

*trivial spoilers*
I would like to say at the start that I wanted to like this movie. I truly did. I was very excited to see it, being a big Matrix fan but what I saw majorly disappointed me. When I left the cinema I felt annoyed, cheated and now I hate all the hype. If only those innocent people knew what the movie was actually like...
Firstly, the FX in this film are amazing. There are no flaws(apart from the length of the fight sequences, hello, more popcorn anyone?..). Maybe popcorn isn't a good example, try going to get a McDonalds and returning to still seeing Neo pummel various Agent Smiths. The length of the fight scenes were very tedious and seem to replace much of what could have been a solid plot if it wasn't for the speeding up of certain sequences to the point where you didn't know what the hell was going on. And don't even let me get started on the sex scene.The entire sequence in Zion reminded me of a cheesy music video. Its embarrassing to watch when you think of the smooth and stylish action and music sequences in the first movie.
If you are up for some extra long action sequences repeated throughout a weak plotted movie by all means go ahead. Knock yourself out. (You will want to by the end of this movie).
