Watchable but a letdown after the first film

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2009)

The Special Effects are even better in this sequel to The Matrix. However the film is a relative letdown. There is a lot of pseudo-scientific babble. Unlike the first film it sounds somewhat pretentious. The religious metaphors are rather unsubtle and there's a solemnity hanging around the whole film. Lawrence Fishburne reprises his role and impresses. Keanu Reeves is alright. There are two major fight sequences which remain exciting to watch. The film ends without a definite conclusion which may annoy some. It is a decent watch specially at home on television or DVD.
Overall 6/10
