a world of superheroes and adventure

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2003)

I think I started off dissapointed at first, because I somehow
expected this to be just a re-run of the first film. But then I realised
that this sequel was more than just a "by the numbers" re-hash,
and instead, the continuous journey of a group of characters I had
come to love from the first Matrix. The first film set up the situation, the rules, the characters, and
with this film, they are set free, and thus we are presented with a
world of superheroes, battling evil and giving us kick-ass action. Thankfully, not just non-stop action, the film takes time with many
dialogue scenes, and although some of them seem confusing or
repetitive, it only goes to pace the film so that the amazing action
scenes don't dwarf the plot. I didn't want this film to end, and eagerly await Novembers
Revolution!
