The sequel fails to deliver

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2003)

I have to admit that the movie was pretty enjoyable. I also have to admit that I was disappointed. Although most big summer movie blockbusters don't always have exactly a lot of good acting or plot, and the first movie didn't exactly have the best acting either, at least the first matrix wasn't corny. Normally though, no matter how bad of acting or how corny the plot may be, with a summer blockbuster you can fall back to the action. But I was disappointed in that too. One of the coolest fight scenes you can obviously see that Neo is actually computerized. And almost all off the other scenes almost seem to be imitating all the movies that ripped off the matrix. The action scenes no longer seem like Matrix authentic, it seems that they have sold out on their own originality. Although the movie was watchable, even enjoyable, it did not leave me wishing to go see the next installment. Instead, it left me wishing that I hadn't seen this installment. It has ruined the matrix experience for me. I know longer can look at the Matrix and think, wow.
