1st movie in years that I'll see in the theater more than once...

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

Don't smack me, but I was not a big fan of the first Matrix (some of you guys are cult-like about the first movie.) I saw it the first day it opened (like I did with Reloaded) and I had a lot of problems with it. However, it had the most spectacular action I had ever seen in a movie.
Well, this edition fixed everything that I had a problem with in the first movie and surpasses the action of the first as well. I won't go into any spoilers, I'll just say that this movie is 1st rate entertainment!!! Some laughs, incredible action and the stunts are unbelievable to say the least. Not to mention the story is much more linear now that we know what the Matrix is.
I think that some of the dialogue was not the easiest to follow, but that's the cleverness of the movie. Some of the characters are saviors and God-like (Neo, Morpheus and the Oracle), some are cartoonish (the French guy was pretty interesting) and some are programs (or are they? - like Mr. Smith and the Architect) Pretty close to perfect for me 3.5 out of 4.
