Great Action and concept, medium plot

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2003)

I'm a great fan of the 1st matrix, loved it's correlation to real everyday life, the allegory of the matrix concept to the unawareness of nowadays' average person in his real life, the lack of knowledge, the existence of invisible forces "whipping" us all in everyday rush for living ( the machines in the matrix), the brain wash we're under thgough TV and all ( the matrix system in the film)in order to be kept sleeping and not question authority, etc. Amazing allegory, BRILLIANT.
SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT!
The 1st film had a much tighter plot, everything was there in the script cause it was absolutely necessary, in the 2nd we get to know a whole bunch of peripheral caracters, thus making the plot loosening up from the main storyline, we have some unnecessary fights and some difficult-to-comprehend dialogues, like the one Neo has with the Architect, where the audience gets a burst of high-level complex dialogue, with hard constructed sentences and meanings, looking as if the Bros wanted to confuse or impress the audience.
One of the things i think's wrong, is the very quick rush to the final mission leading to the source, i mean, this was supposed to be THE mission, the last hope of the human race, and we see it happen in a few minutes of filming, maybe less than the fight of Neo with the 100 Smiths. But without doubt the film is mind-blowing from optical side, the images make you say WOW, amazing choreography, effects and manga-like depicting of fights and heroes, simply amazing, worth every penny of the ticket. Int the end it looks like the Human Race has lost all hope - until Neo does something unexpected in the real world in the finale. Leaves you waiting to see what will happen in no.3. General loved it, was much more impressive than no.1,i give it 8 out of 10
