Matrix 2: I am probably the minority here

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2003)

Sorry for all the ppl who liked the movie and i do understand how u may have liked it but i just come back from the cinema and matrix 2 did not meet the EXPECTATIONS i had for it. Waiting for such a long time for it, i really thort they chose the wrong direction for story went.
The 1st matrix left us with such a broad story to be carried on and to carry on like this i wasnt impressed.
Lets get one thing straight, the action scenes were AWESOME!! (especially the collision of the 2 lorries on the freeway in slow motion), but i realised today that action isnt all that makes a movie an awesome one itself.
It really depends on how u look at the 2nd one when u try to put ur opinions forward of it. Are u lookin at the movie in COMPARISON WITH THE 1ST ONE or are u lookin at the movie generally as a movie? i just couldnt avoid making a comparison with the first one, which is prolly why i was slightly disappointed with the outcome.
the action scenes were awesome like i said b4, but did ne1 find TOOO MUCH action just slightly starting to get boring? they shoulda concentrated on a better storyline i think.
having said that, mebbe my disappointment will be compensated for the 3rd one, because this second one is just the intermediate to link the 1st and the 3rd matrix movies, and so this 2nd is prolly building up to the 3rd one, which, im hoping, will meet my expectations. its like lotr: i thort the 1st one was much better than the 2nd, but the 2nd one is prolly leading the final 3rd one, which should be awesome.
i am still confused about the movie (e.g. the 'creator of the matrix' talked soooo fast, and with such advanced vocabulary, i was all confused there and then) so my comments towards movie may have been too early to tell.
all in all, i dont think the matrix 2 was a s*** movie. it didnt meet my expectations and was nowhere near the 1st one's quality. i cannot wait for the dvd so that a lot of gaps are filled. (gaps such as when Neo somehow stops those flying robot thingies with some kind of power in the REAL WORLD and not in the matrix. that made me all confused thinking that the REAL WORLD may also be some type of a matrix?! help?)
feel free to criticise, agree, disagree, or support my points :)
