Another stupid action-hero-movie!

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2003)

SPOILERS!!! Well the wait was over and we finally saw it. The first half hour was really bad. It looked like a stupid MTV-videoclip directed by Leni Riefenstahl. My god, what was the meaning of that rave?
Then it got better. Especially the bit with the French-talking character and Monica Belucci was good. Also the Architect was really like it should be. These scenes gave me the real Matrix-feeling. But for the rest it turned into a really stupid cartoon were Nemo flew like Superman, fought like Jacky Chan and had healingpowers like a Charmed-character. The good thing about the first movie, was the fact that the agents were invinsible and the only way to survive was running from them.
But what happened in this part. A stupid white haired duo shot 50.000 rounds at a car and missed everybody. Bulls**t!!!! Of course the key-maker got shot in the end. Strangely enough after he closed the door? How is that possible. First 50.000 bullets missed him and then he was killed through an already closed door. Do I need to continue. I think they ruined an amazing cyber-punk-sf story and turned it into an action-comedy like we see coming out almost every month. X-men, Daredevil, Spidermen, Charlies Angels and now the Matrix. And the worst of it all! He rescues the girl!!!!! No, no, no, let her die and you get a fifty times more interesting movie. But no in a Hollywood-blockbuster the girl gets rescued. I'm a little bit dissapointed.
