severe disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2003)

The fight scenes were cold and for a good portion of them, Neo was entirely CG. The Zion scenes felt like the Jedi Council, except less exciting. There was no character development, albeit nifty new ideas (like backdoors and the keymaker). Admittedly, the Twins and the freeway scene were exciting, as well as the lovely Monica Bellucci. I hope the trilogy will redeem itself with the third installment.
Oh - there's a preview at the end of the credits for the third movie. It's oh-so-short and you might not want to listen to all the songs they have lined up (apparently, they needed to put something on the soundtrack).
