What a humungous let-down.

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2003)

Let's see, what is there? I saw this movie last night, and it was by far the worst movie I'd seen in years. There were several scenes which should have been cut, as they're blatently pointless and add nothing to plot. The action scenes could have been cut by 10 minutes each. I actually, no joke, ended up looking at my watch to see how long some of the scenes lasted, and was bored for nearly the entire thing. The computer animations were mediocre and over-used. The plot, if any, was lost amid a pointless and downright uninteresting series of action scene after action scene. As I went in the theater with somewhat of high expectations for the movie, I was very much regretting having spent money and 2 1/2 hours watching this drivel. I only hope the third movie vindicates this HORRIBLE excuse for a sequel. This was not a movie, but a segue into the third movie, and could have been equally well implemented with two well-written scenes. You want to see a sequel worth a movie ticket, go see X2: X-Men United, a cinematic work of art. If you want to cause your brain unnecessary pain and anguish, then prepare yourself to be bored for over 2 hours, and go sit through the most disappointing movie in years, and see The Matrix Reloaded.
