One of the worst films of all time.

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2003)

Seriously, there is only one scene in this film worth watching. When Neo meets the Architect. This is the only scene that really advances the storyline. Before everyone jumps down my neck, I know there is another part coming and some other things will be revealed. The look of Zion is brilliant, steampunk is cool. At least half an hour of the film is taken up with useless, excessively long fight scenes brought down this film right from the start. How many time do we need to see Neo beat up a heap of guys on his own? I thought the pod race in episode on was more interesting than some of these fights. We all know he is almost God-like. The same is true of the chase scene. To long, with much that wasn't needed. Even people I have spoken to who have loved the film agree that the one scene NOT needed was the woman in the restaurant eating the cake. The only reason for the French guy was to allude to those who had come before Neo. So there is another big amount of time wasted. And the dance/sex scene. I can see why it was put in, showing humanities regression to tribal stance etc was WAAAYYYY to long. And why bother with a sex scene. The first didn't contain it, in fact, the harshest word said in the first one is s**t. Besides, does anyone else notice that there is absolutely nothing between Neo and Trinity. No spark at all. All in all this film rates as one of the worst films I have ever scene, with very little to redeem itself. I give it a 2/5
