not bad

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2003)

I quite enjoyed this sequel and thought it was a good edition to the story trilogy that is the matrix. It pretty much takes off where the last film left us and shows us that there is still so much more to be resolved in the story. I wasn't expecting this film to be as innovative as the first (as most sequels are) But it still makes you leave the cinema in deep thought about "what is the matrix!". The special effects in this movie are probably the best you'll ever see at this time and the scenes in which they are utilized are worth the admission fee alone. The Kung-fu scenes are also well done although i got the feeling a few times that they went longer than they should have. My main gripe with this film is that the story is is very much dependant on the next installment, and you leave the theatre feeling unresolved. Not bad though.
