Delete your mind

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2003)

If you haven't seen THE MATRIX, see it before you see THE MATRIX RELOADED, because they don't explain anything and otherwise the movie would make no sense. Actually, it doesn't make any sense anyway, but at least you'll get to see a watchable action flick before having your intelligence insulted by the worst screenplay I can remember. Ever. Worse than TOMB RAIDER, worse than CHARLIE'S ANGELS, worse than THE AVENGERS. It really is that bad.
The film's fight scenes and car chase make for a pretty good video game, but these highlights are interspersed with ponderous monologues that are more boring than an economics lecture by Stephen Hawking. Add to this Keanu Reeves displaying less acting talent than his sunglasses, and all you have left is spectacular CGI and stunt-work, some nice sets, and lots of fetish wear. Erase your mind beforehand and just enjoy the pretty pictures.
