Over-blown attack on the senses...

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2003)

1st watched 5/26/2003 - 3 stars (Dir-Andy & Larry Wachowski): Over-blown attack on the senses. To me, what this sequel does is take an interesting idea and screw it up by overloading our senses with pictures, action and sound. I was so distraught by watching this movie and trying to figure out what it was all about that I really didn't want to watch it to the end. I was able to take a couple bathroom breaks and the theatre had a few false fire alarms which made it a little more bearable, I guess. And what's worse is that they end it with a `To be continued.' (which means, of course, that I may have to bear this again). I'm sorry but I didn't like the first one and I don't like this one either. What makes movies interesting to me is the stories not wondering how they accomplished the technical things. This is the only thing interesting about this movie(the special effects- the wow, how did they do that? thought), but by the end your saying - who cares? As you can see, I didn't care for this but I have to admit that the effects were spectacular(even Oscar-worthy).
