Well, it is out there, and...

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2003)

I am surprised of how mixed my feelings were after leaving the theater. Was I blown away or did I just see an exaggerated version of the first Matrix? The movie had too much padding (the overextended scenes at Zion during the celebration and Neo/Trinity's love scene) and so much philosophical mumbo jumbo throughout that it started to concern me where the 150 million dollar budget went to. But then the action sequences started kicking in, and after all was said and done, all I wanted to do was to go home and watch the original Matrix so I could be blown away by its audacity and originality, something I hoped this overblown, over-budgeted sequel would do. Probably they are saving the real razzle-dazzle for "Revolutions". We shall see.
P.S. IMDB users, please do a spell check before posting your comments. The whole world is watching, and hopefully, not laughing.
