What a Joke

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2003)

Cool fights. That's all that can really be said positively about this film. Too self-pretentious, too preachey. The first Matrix was a masterpiece for it totally reinvented that action film genere. This second film fails to pick up on the magic of the first film due to trite, forced monologues, bad acting by several leads, and a lack of the "wow" factor. The first film had me "wow"ing several times. This one, I only "wow"ed about twice. And Zion....what a joke. I never did buy into the hype, but still, I was disapointed. At least the fights were cool.
