Doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2003)

This movie dragged on, punctuated by fight scenes and provocative scenes with Trinity or Persephone (or random nameless woman) in an attempt to keep the viewer awake. Of course, if one falls asleep, one might miss the plot development that (finally!) arrives at the end of the movie.
The computer graphics were on occasion laughably bad (the two-dimensional Neo in the big fight with the Agent Smiths in the playground was particularly obvious).
Probably worth waiting for the DVD to come out at Blockbuster, but I wouldn't pay full price at the theatre. If you're really itching to see it, go to a matinee and save yourself some money.
I'd be more disappointed if I hadn't found $10 at the theatre, which made my ticket and white cherry ice cost me 25 cents in the end.
