Matrix Confusion

Rating: 4/10 (14 July 2003)

My friend from Burma tells me that in his country, foreign films are shown without sub- titles and the audience have to guess what is happening. That is how I felt watching this film. I had to guess who were the goodies and the baddies and I then had to guess what was happening in the story. The dialogue was too confusing to follow.

The fight scenes were boring - it was like they were filling in time to lengthen the movie. Bang, bang, kick, kick. Many of the scenes didn't advance the story at all.
The action with the car chases was brilliant and probably the best part of the film.
But the worst part was the ending - there was none. What a cop out.

Had this film been the first Matrix - there would not have been a second.
