Good Effort.

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2003)

Worth watching if you liked the original - but don't despair just yet there's still coolness left in the Matrix.
There's a lot more of what we call skinny-latte philosophy, it doesn't really matter because we do not know how the trilogy is going to end - this is merely the interlude.
The beauty of Monica Bellucci is worth the admission price and the philosophizing by the French baddie is "mind-boggling" in the funny sense (even tough I liked the cake-thing he did with the blonde)
The special effects were sort of experimental and did seem fake at times but don't worry it's just a movie. The quality and credibility of the Matrix trilogy will obviously be judged after "Revolutions".
I liked and was interested by the ideas running throughout the film but I feel that somehow they could have been better portrayed if the budget had been smaller!
Still better than any of the latest attempts at Sci-Fi by George Lucas/Spielberg.
7 out of 10 for me.
