his superman thing.. WHY?

Rating: 2/10 (15 May 2003)

Before i went to see the movie, i was afraid it wouldn't stand up to the original matrix, and i was right... I really like the matrix except for the last 2 minutes (it should have ended with the kiss), because of that stupid superman thing.
You would think they wouldn't dare to show such cheesybess in the sequel, right??? think again, they'll be showing off neo's superman skills even more :( They also should have scrapped the first 30 minutes of the film (i don't mind the philosophy, but the character introduction and dialog was just way too slow).
The action scenes are enjoyable, but slightly too long and way too much "bullettime". The usage of bullettime in "the matrix" was way more subtle. Most CGI work was very obvious and incosequent (the guy next to me noticed neo's (digital) appearance change from shot to shot), also the blue screen and/or rear-project in the car-chase scene is quite annoying.
i think i need to see the movie a few more times before i can comment on the story/plot, but there are definitely a few holes to fill..
all in all, an entertaining film (if you can see past all the cheesyness), but no where near the first Matrix film. Lets just hope the next matrix film will be better.
