in a nutshell...lame

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2003)

Boy, what a dissappointment. Aside from the highway and fight scenes, this movie was a let down. The only thing that could have made it worse was having Freddie Prinze Jr in it. The Neo-Trinity love scene coupled with the Zion Dance Party was both way too long and completely unnecessary. I felt that this movie was just one long techno music video. The first Matrix was great at explaining who the characters were - this one throws a bunch of new characters into the mix without much background. Perhaps it will all come together in the third installment, but they should have been a little more direct with this one. At times it seems like they were making it up as they went along. Action sequences and Special Effects were superb, but do not make up for lack of story. 6 out of 10
