I'm whiny

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2003)

Well, it did not go as well as the first part. First of all the storyline is thin and secondly action is the bulk. I did not enjoy it as much as the first. Let me compare it with the first and rate it.
1) The very concept of Matrix captured the storyline and Neo was the essence of Matrix, that gave a solid foundation for the story, it really did a great job. But I feel it had more to tell. They could have done a better job when focussing on Zion, somehow it did not seem the most important aspect of the film. Also Neo should have been put in the apprenticeship, it would have been amazing to seem him become the master a bit later or even the end of the movie, it would have given a sense of vulnerability and made it more exciting.

2) Action seemed to fill in places most of the time.It was fantastic seeing the explosions, but we did experience most of it in the first part, nothing new out here.
3) Hats off for the special effects, i did enjoy the agent smith versus Neo fight a lot. The guy's tone and attitude is great entertainment.
But my guess is the Matrix Revolutions has much to offer than this film, hope it does not disappoint like this one. I mean its a good movie, but not as good as the Matrix.
