absolutely the biggest scam of 2003

Rating: 1/10 (17 July 2003)

I enjoyed the first Matrix film as a clever little film that had some what turned out to be seminal special effects. But when I heard they were making sequels I was surprised. I never really had any interest in seeing the sequels, but I was given free tickets and went in 'the spirit of having a good time'. It was crap. That may not be an intellectual comment... but the film presented the most assinine spirituality and tried to pass it off as clever/significant to a largely gullible teenage audience if my screening was anything to go by. It cost me nothing (the ticket that is) and I still felt ripped off. I liked the white restaurant sequence a 'tad' because it promised to bring something new to the party, namely, sex (it didn't though, and I'm not even counting the interminable rave party scene Eisensteined with a sterile Carrie Moss Keanu Reeves make out leaving me limp sequence). One good car chase sequence, but is that the best they can do.. trailer at the end of the film left me, let me say, underwhelmed. For those who insist on rating films, I give it three yawns.
