A Waste of Two Hours

Rating: 3/10 (5 August 2014)

Absolutely dreadful. I saw the first Matrix film a few days ago and I thought it was pretty good. This made me want to watch the second instalment in the series. I had actually been warned against it by a number of friends but I can never leave franchises unfinished so I watched it the next day. I couldn't watch it for more than 30 minutes at a time because it was so boring. The action sequences were ridiculous and repetitive. The main character can't even die so there's no excitement in his action scenes. The story was lacklustre and it didn't even start until half an hour in. And some of the concepts were really stupid and unexplained, for example when Neo reached into Trinity's body and restarted her heart. Some of it was plain lazy, for example when Neo was using knives to slash people's faces and when you saw their faces they had no cut or blood. Overall, unless you cannot bear to leave franchises unfinished, don't waste your time watching this movie.
