Pretentious, begging, and worthless. *Spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2003)

*Spoilers* This movie was, for me, one for the largest disappointments of the summer. I have been waiting for this movie since I saw the first one. Now after seeing it I am completely disappointed. The first movie had philosophical ideals and gave "answers" to things that happen in life, i.e. de ja vu etc. But this movie didn't do any of this. It didn't answer any questions it only added more. But it didn't make you think or hope for the answer, it just made you want to forget your wasted time. This sequel relied too much on action and not enough on story. And what was the deal with the whole rave in Zion? Come on. Lets think about it, really. Was all that needed? Also the love between Neo and Trinity was forced. And forced too much. In the first movie we found out that Trinity was going to fall in love with "the One" we believed it, but instead of us simply believing this to be true they fed us far to much information about Neo and Trinity and their sex life. There was too much suck-face and not enough action. OK we get it they love each other, that doesn't mean that every time they are alone they need to be making out. It was very juvenile. Also, I didn't care and still don't care that Trinity almost died. In fact I thought she was annoying in this movie. She didn't do everything she could have and should have done. It's like love weakened her. Sad, she was so strong and now so weak. A movie no matter if it is part of a trilogy or a part of a string of films can rely on another for greatness. It must be able to stand alone. And this one cannot. It relies on the third installment. But with all this said I will see the next one because I am forced to see it. I am too curious as to what is going to happen and what has happened. And who knows maybe the last one will make up for this one, answering everything that was left unanswered and more.
