Disappointed in the Bros.

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2003)

Well well.
They had to do it, didn't they? Make a sequel to the perfect movie. The Matrix had the perfect story, perfect plot, perfect lines, perfect effects and so on. Well, about as close to perfect as one can come.
And then this. Had I been dead, I would have turned in my grave. Never have I seen a movie with such good starting terms become such a mess. Completely deprived of a good storyline, full of flat characters. In short, everything you expect from a tuesday movie on any cloned tv network.
But, one has to give credit to some of the choreography, effects and sound. Even they can't carry a movie alone, it seems this was the idea behind this creation. Fight scenes were pretty good, effects were very well done except some really big bloopers, like i.e. the slow-motion scene with the agent landing on the hood of a car, which looked like a cheap version of Spiderman-effects. But all in all, good effects.
If the second sequel to The Matrix is going to be as flat and stillstanding as this one, I'd rather watch Dr Phil on TV. Or, for all I know, I may be the one that needs his help. Anyways, I was very much disappointed in this movie. Had it only had a proper storyline and a good plot along with some interesting characters, I could've easily forgotten about the effects bloopers and other small flaws. But no cigar I guess.
Well, let's all hope the next one can at least live slightly up the the first in this trilogy. Then maybe I'll get my respect for the Bros back.
