What were they thinking...

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2003)

As a big fan of "The Matrix" I was not only excited but also worried about seeing this movie. As we have been presented this year, sequels can definetley ruin the original movie. This one not only ruined it, but also made the story boring with no end in sight. The scene where neo fought the agent smiths was unnecessary and completely ridiculous. We could have watched that scene for hours upon end before we would gain anything. I wasn't even impressed by the special effects and the fighting. From that point on I noticed that almost half of this movie could have been taken out because there were so many scenes that didn't change the plot or introduce anything interesting to the viewers. As a hardcore movie goer I was thoroughly p***ed off at the directing. This movie could have started with the first fifteen minutes and ended immediatley with the architect introduction. To me it seemed as if the Wachoski brothers thought that the audience actually cared about the plot. And from what i hear from my friends, family, and other people...they didn't. Although true Matrix fans and action movie fans probably liked it... to me it seemed as if this movie brought down my liking of the original Matrix.
