victim of its own success?

Rating: 1/10 (8 April 2006)

The original Matrix was stylish, fresh, and ended. Really, it ended there. This sequel should never have been made, it's just effects fodder. PJ's review takes the words right out of my mouth, ditto Highlander. The prophetic death scene of Trinity's was the high point, and could have been an emotional challenge to span the sequel and the threequel but it seemed to have just got wasted. The story, appears to get itself into too many twists and convolutions to remember where it is or what was it's point and has that making-it-up-as-it-goes-along feel. (By the way, how many times does Agent Smith have to say "Goodbye, Mr Anderson" in this one?)
