This movie is a triumph of metaphors.

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2003)

First off, I just want to say that if you think this movie is all about action and has a poor plot you are simply wrong. First of all you have to realize it is the middle of a trilogy which serves its purpose beautifully. Like any story the middle always has the most exposition and explanation. Second the film is loaded with philosophy and hidden meaning. Every line and scene has a purpose, you could watch this movie 10 times and not understand everything. The issues it touches on are truly epic and extremely deep. The ending is not boring, I ask one of you to explain the connection between Smith and Neo and what it means. If you can't then you dont have the right to call it bad. In other words if you dont want to think about the meaning of life or are unable to comprehend the complex metaphors and themes in this movie then do your self a favor and go see X-2.(This movie is also amazing and has some nice commentary on racism and the like. But it cant touch the complex analysis of the meaning of life in the Matrix Trilogy.)
