I'm going to have to see this again!

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2003)

This movie had to be about the most anticipated sequel in my life, right up there with Empire Strikes Back. So, I was a little worried when I started hearing some not so great things about this movie. I went in the theater with a little trepidation.
I came out knowing I'd have to see this movie again, and soon!
Let me just say that the talk about how slow the first hour is and all the philisophical mumbo-jumbo had me worried that someone had taken Wakng Life and made it into an action flick! And while the first hour is a bit tedious, and philosophy is certainly discussed, it was nowhere near as bad as the critics said! And once the 100 Agent Smiths fight comes around, this movie kicks in to full bad-ass gear and delivers the goods til the end!

Now, I can't say it was as good as the first movie (nothing is ever like your first time!), mainly because this movie takes a different path, one which I didn't quite count on, and which will require viewing the Third movie in six months. Thank god I don't have to wait longer! Meantime, I'll be heading back to the theater soon to se this again, and pick up what I missed!
Well worth seeing! 8/10
