The Matrix has you...AGAIN!

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2003)

I have been waiting for this one for four years and it exceeded my expectations. Keanu, Lawrence, Carrie-Ann, & the rest of the gang kick major butt. Joel Silver may be the master of hyperbole, but he got it right this time. This one has definitely raised the bar a few notches.
This is not a movie for the faint of heart. You've got to watch everything, listen to everything and know the basic storyline of the first picture. That's more work than a lot of people are willing to do. Sorry, it's their loss. I did not read any of the literature on the film before walking into the theatre for the sneak preview. I wanted to be as open to it as I was to the first one. I really don't think it would have mattered but I wanted to have that "WOW!" factor that we sometimes lose when the media gives us every single detail of a picture before you get your popcorn and Coke. I was blown out of my seat. The story is more involved. New characters are introduced. I especially liked Merovingian. Lambert Wilson is wonderfully evil in the role.
Go see this and get blown away. I've already seen it twice this weekend.
