Why do I torture myself?

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2004)

I didn't like the first Matrix movie, but who was I to argue with all those that thought it was great? Well this one just confirmed what I thought before; an overwhelming script pretentiousness (sunglasses anyone?), unattractive characters (good guys & villains), horrible martial arts, ordinary acting and a overall feeling of detachment throughout. On the positive side, an interesting premise and some good FX, but in 10 years we will be laughing at the ridiculous overuse of wirework.
