finally: a movie as irritating as american beauty!!

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2003)

every so often one has the displeasure of seeing a REALLY shlock film. my last was american beauty, and can say with absolute confidence that matrix two is worse. i can't decide who was more boring or unconvincing, morpheus or neo. the producers really had a pretentious feast: the "kiss" scene in the bathroom nearly made me puke. worst of all, was the g-d like portrayal of a very ung-dlike morpheus, particularly with the stalest cinematography in the book- the shining light on his bald head. pathetic. no wait, the worst was yet to come! the ridiculous, un-sexy visuals of the trance/rave (?????!!!) party, interspersed with neo and trinity's "climax" almost had me on the floor. for $100m plus, one would think that the hermetic wachowski's could have found something more original than using the same boring slowed down fight scenes, and the plasticine video-game like graphics. in fact, one should rather go and play a video game than watch this tripe. you will see equally good special effects, and may even feel rewarded afterwards.
the only reason i give this a three out of ten is because of the cool villain smith-who i can only wish will kill all the mongrels who chose the "correct" pill in the coming third one!
