Confusing and boring in parts

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2003)

You know when an onscreen character prefaces his speech with the line "you probably won't understand what I am about to tell you" that something went wrong during the screen writing. Excellent and lengthy action scenes interrupted by equally long but boring speeches, all fans of the original Matrix are waiting with baited breath for film 3 next month in order to understand vast swathes of the second. 5/10 (5/5 for the action and 0/5 for the plot).
