A mixed Bag that proves the sequel saying.

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2003)

Overall the movie is good. The special effects were absolutely fantastic. But I felt that too much of the story relied on the fight sequences. I felt they were overly long and the stop/slow/start got tiresome really quickly as it was overused. The writes/directors seem to have moved away from the mystical what is reality/is this a dream type story to an out and out action movie.I felt that this was a mistake. And whats with the orgy scene? There is no logic to it.
I enjoyed the references back to the original movie, such as the spoon and the sweets.
I can recommend seeing it on a mega screen such as an IMAX screen but only as an action movie, not as a worth successor to The Matrix.
