Pants!

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2003)

I was fully expecting to enjoy this film. I had really enjoyed the first, and was hoping that this would live up to it, it didn't. So, whats wrong with it? I'll tell you... the fight scenes, while impressively done, happen too often and they last too long. The whole story plods along for well over two hours, with no real oompf to it. I struggled to stay awake in some parts. The acting from Reeves for most of the film, is wooden at best, and the ending is incredibly annoying! However, the special effects are superb, as i expected, and the acting from the supporting cast was excellent. Even the two twins from the DIY show were good, if a little aneamic!! Possibly a film for die-hard sci-fi/fantasy fans, but not one for me. Straight to the bargin bin when it comes out on general release methinks! 4/10
