More annoying and pretentious than the first.

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2015)

Even though I like the original Matrix, some of the dialog is pretentious and some of the other parts are pretty dated. That said I didn't let that ruin the movie for me, and I still thought it was fun and I liked the philosophy. This movie however takes the things I didn't like about the first, and reload them (forgive the pun). The action scenes are still good but the philosophical talks are as pretentious and annoying as ever. Some of them don't even make any sense. And the scene where Thomas Anderson/Neo (Keanu Reeves) talks with the architect (Helmut Bakaitis) is just as boring and nonsensical as everyone makes it out to be. But the action scenes are still good, my favorite being when Neo fights the clones of Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). But the if pretentious exposition will ruin the film for you, you won't like it, because there's a lot of that in here.
