Why did they ruin the original with a sequel?!?!

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2003)

For a long time, just like everyone else, I have been looking forward to this film. Now, after seeing it, I wish they had never soiled the memory of the original with this poor attempt. From beginning to end this movie was a disappointment. The first 45 minutes seemed forced with needless scenes and feeble character/relationship development. A few risqué scenes were interspersed to seemingly quell the studio executive's desire for "sex sells" material. There were a few bright points in this film, but not enough to make up for all of its faults.
Overall, I would recommend seeing the movie to get it out of your system. I just hope that Matrix Revolutions brings more to the table than sub-par CG fight scenes and additional disappointments.
