Some brilliant, some terrible...

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2003)

On the whole, somewhat disappointing. Some parts of the film were as spectacular as the first movie, but this sequel had way too much 'blah, blah, blah' for the action fans and the psuedo-intellectual/profound remarks were often laugh-out-loud ridiculous. I literally sniggered at some of Morpheus' remarks - did it really need to have so much rah-rah-rah??? As for the Agent Smith duplication thing - well, I got the picture after there were about half a dozen... did adding another 94 really improve the scene? Especially once it descended into video-game mode? In all I would still recommend seeing this movie - and on the big screen - but I wouldn't be too upset if you happened to miss it. My vote 7/10
