Very good, with a few disappointments

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

Reading other review I would say that everyone expresses some dissatifaction with the movie but have a hard time putting a finger on it. As others have pointed out the first movie was so good, that it could be called a perfect or complete movie. The second movie does suffer from some bad acting, which all happens in Zion. There is a very long dance scene early in the movie that adds nothing to further the plot. Also toward the end Neo is presented with an explanation of event that is slightly hard to follow. Remember to stay through the credits to see a sneak of the third movie. Finally is a guide to character references:

Soren-SÃ¸ren Kierkegaard(?), an existentialist which believes stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.
Kali- Hindu god of death
Persephone- Wife of Hades.
Seraph-Seraphim are angels.
Morpheus- God of dreams
Neo- new, anagram of one
Merovingian- protected the quest for the Holy Grail
Tirant-French for Knight I believe.
Malachi- Messenger of God. Old Testament prophet who warned the jews
to repent.
Hamman- Haman(?)In the Bible, a Persian minister who was hanged for plotting the destruction of the Jews.
The Twins- Gemini Twins?
Roland- Roland from the Dark Tower?

Well I don't know if all the names mean something but there it is.
