Overall very disappointing.

Rating: 5/10 (26 August 2003)

When going in, I was really looking forward to it. When it started I thought that this was going to be the best film ever. However, I got very bored as the first hour dragged on forever. When the action started, I thought 'finally here we go', but the fight scenes dragged on too long and to be quite frank, the effects in the Neo vs. the hundred Agent Smiths scene were awful. Half the time, Neo looked like plastic. It was actually a relief when the scene finished. However, the twins were fantastic and the highway scene was spectacular, it's a shame the rest of the film couldn't have been as good as this. Plus parts of the movie were REALLY confusing. I won't go into it, but anyone who has seen the movie will know what I'm talking about. I think the problem with the Matrix Reloaded is that we've seen it all before. With the original I was like 'Wow! This is fantastic', but now I am like 'Bullet time, AGAIN.'. I am hoping that the Wachowski brothers can make Matrix Revolutions as good as the original, I guess only time will tell.
