Amazing film with more plot than most people realize

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2003)

I would have to say that this is an amazing movie. Period. Tons of actions (a lot, much, gratuitous etc.) Perhaps a tad much considering it was mostly just more of the same from the first one. I however really loved the last half of the movie, where the story started to develop and where a little more attention and intelligence than one would expect was required to grasp all that was going on. Including the timeline being split into 3 simultaneously. The scenes in Zion were almost pointless except for the meeting with the counselor and Morpheus' speech, as with the love scene with trinity. It seemed to me that the nature of the relationship between Neo and Trinity was one that was based on unrequited love, and would have added a tragic element to the subplot. The whole agent smith (my fav character from the first one) sub plot and fight scene was over played and not really necessary for the plot unfortunately, but the revelation of the nature of the oracle, the matrix, the anomaly, and Zion was just as I thought it should be. Funnily enough I had thought that was the direction the series had to take in order to make it worth watching the third. As well the film really leaves one hanging, I cant wait for the third installment!
