Not as good as the first, but still pretty good.

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

While being a little slow at the beginning and taking a good 45 minutes or so to get to the good stuff, the movie was well paced for the most part.
The storyline involving Agent Smith's "evolution" however was a bit on the dodgy side. It wasn't resolved at the end of the movie (most likely having something major to play in the final movie), which limits the success of the movie as a stand-alone film.
That being said, the fight scenes were superb and the car chase sequence was magnificent. Well worth seeing, but suffering from a slight case of sequelitis.
