Boring start, great middle part, abrupt end

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2003)

I very much liked the first Matrix for it's ingenious plot, and of course the special effects. This movie starts of slow, with a lot time wasted in Zion. Who would really start a big party when the sentinels are just 36 hours away. I think this was just an excuse to show some nice girls topless or with see through blouses. Luckily the middle part gives all the action and special effects you would expect from the sequel. The third part of the movie expands the plot, giving more information as to how the matrix came in existence. The end is much too abrupt, but then they'll want us to go and see the third movie. I think if they had cut half an hour out of this movie, and half an hour out of the next (this is speculation of course) and put both sequels together as one movie it would have been just as great as the first.
