fights and car chases, it cant get any better

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2003)

First this movie surpasses the first in every way. There are more and longer action scenes, there is more story, and more flesh. First the action scenes. All the fight scenes are well-choreographed and performed. Of course many people would consider the 100 agent smiths vs Neo scene the highlight fight scene which has some validity. Not so much so for the fighting (which is great dont get me wrong) but more for the special effects. only on very few occassions is it obvious that Neo or agent smiths were all CGI but the majority of the time it is very difficult to tell. In my opinion though, the best fight scene would be in the mansion. I believe this becuase, there is little to no CGI, it is mainly wire work. Also Keanu Reeves uses an assortment of weapons including: a long sword, sais, twin sticks, and a staff. Now on to the chase sequence towards the end. One of the people is quoted, "The best car chases ever." while making the scenes. This is not a lie. The Washowski bros. set up some of the most extravagant car crashes and captued them on film in ways crashes has yet to filmed. In many cases you would want to tell yourself that it is CGI but it just looks too good to be CGI. About the only times they used CGI was when people were invilved (the agent jumping on the car, people turning into agents) and it seemed that there was only one crash in which it was heavily aided by computer effects ( a crash invilving two semis and there two people flying off of one of the semis). As for the story, I will just say it goe more in depth about all the major characters as wel as introducing some new ones.
One thing to keep in mind is that this movie does not end, it stops. However, the last 10 or fifteen minutes or so has some of the most bizzare explanations and a couple of strange events (one of them being a real sappy one but stil a little weird).
