Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2003)

1st I Would Like To Say That This Was A Decent Movie Comprised Of Flashy Special Effects, Long Fights, & Long Confusing Conversations. Now I'm Not Saying That The Movie Was Bad, All I'm Saying Is That It Could Have Been Better. Agent Smith Is Back & The Only Really Different Thing About Him Is That He Can Copy Himself Into Other Agents, People, & Maybe Even Puppies If He Tried. There Are The Twins, Whose Roles Are Unfortunately Shortly Lived (I Think) Thanks To Morpheus. There Is Crazier Fighting In This Movie But To Me It Looks Like They Slowed It Down A Little From The 1st Movie. For Example, At The End Of The 1st Movie When Neo Becomes "The One" & Agent Smith Charges Him You Can See The Trail Of Neo's Arm When He Blocks The Attacks, But There Is Almost None Of That Very Cool Effect In This Movie. Also, The Fighting In This Movie Has Almost No Purpose Except To Entertain The Audience. Unlike In The 1st Movie, Where The Fighting Happened For A Reason. The Bullet Time Scenes Are Back &, Just Like Agent Smith, Have Multiplied Themselves Like Crazy, There Are About 5-10 Times As Many Of Them. When The Movie Ended & Those 3 Dreadful Words "To Be Concluded" Came To My Eyes I Looked Around The Theater To Make Sure I Wasn't The Only 1 Confused By The Way It Ended. Sadly I Wasn't, Which Means That The Movie Truly Ended That Poorly. I Haven't Seen The 3rd Movie But I Can Already Tell That The 2 Could Have Been Combined Into 1. All In All I Recommend This Movie To The People That Liked The 1st 1 But If You Didn't, Stay Far Away From This Movie No Matter How Good The Commercials & Previews Look Because They're A Little, Well, Off.
GOOD: The Only Good Things About This Movie Are The Fight Scenes, The Car Chase, The Special Effects, & The Twins. There Are About 5 Fights In This Movie, The 1st With The 3 Agents At The Beginning Of The Movie, It's Pretty Short Though; The Fight With The 100 Or So Agent Smiths, Which Is The Best, Especially When Neo Fights With The Pole; The Fight At The Mansion Place With The Melee Weapons, Which Was Also Very Good; The Fight That Morpheus Has With The Twins (God I Love That Sword) But Like The 1st Agent Fight, It's Short; & The Fight That He Has With The Agent On Top Of The Truck. The Special Effects Are Awesome & They Really Shine During The Car Chase Which Is The Best Part Of The Movie. The Twins, Unlike In The Misleading Commercials & Previews, Don't Play A Major Role In The Movie But They Are Still 1 Of The Best Things There. They Can Dodge Every Attack Aimed At Them Without Even Moving, Hey Who Needs Super Speed When You Can Become Transparent!?
BAD: Oh Were To Begin, I Think I'll Start With The Music. Whoever Said "To Much Of A Good Thing Is Bad" Or Whatever Should Be Given A Freakin' Medal Or Something Because The Amount Of Techno In This Movie Is Ridiculous. They Should Have Stuck With The Soundtrack From The 1st Movie, Which Is The Best Next To Lord Of The Rings & Star Wars. The Music During The Car Chase Is Just Dumb, Just Think How Much Better It Would Have Been With Hard Rock, Or Something Of That Nature, Playing In The Background. Some Of The Music Is OK But Most Of The Time It Just Doesn't Fit. The Story For This Movie Was Well How Can I Say It, Oh I Know, WHAT STORY!? Where Is It? Did I Fall Asleep Or Something? There Are Only About 5 Conversations In The Movie That Actually Needed To Take Place, The 1 In The Beginning Of The Movie About The 250,000 Sentinels That Are Coming, With The Oracle, With Agent Smith, Morpheus' Speech Before They Go To Building, & With The Architect. The Conversations Are Way To Long, Full Of Big Confusing Words, & When 1 Ends You Just Say "What?" The Only Way To Understand What Happened In This Movie Is To Take The 1st Movie's Story & Combine It With What Little Story You Have In This 1 Because The Ending Is Just Confusing & Will Make Blood Shoot Out Of Your Ears When You Try To Figure It Out. As For The Rave/Sex Scene, I Have Just 1 Word In Response To Seeing It, No.
