Much ado about something

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2003)

If you are able to look through the more than once unnecessary dense special effects (I was instantly reminded of my disappointment about Episode I), you will find an interesting yet not spectacular sequel to "The Matrix". While the original 1.st movie was a complete and solid package, the sequel No.1 is like the rest of fragmenting explosion, where you are able to see the original intention but the magic has been blown up and away.
Some very unnecessary speeches and 100+ Smiths later you may find yourself lost a little bit, but hey, who wasn't after the first Matrix? ;-)

Nevertheless this movie clearly cannot stand up to the expectations.
