Rating: 1/10 (8 June 2003)

The effects were fabulous with the exception of far too many scenes where mapping on the 3d models was so obvious I felt cheated. If I would have wanted to view video-game sequences I would have run Max Payne on my PC. I went to the theater to view a movie... you know, the kind that actually has acting, storyline and more depth than a potato-chip? I was VERY disappointed, if I hadn't seen the first Matrix I would've been totally lost, which proves to me that this 'film' is for kids with PS2's. When I go see a movie I want actors fighting not 3d models. The fight scenes lasted too long and were redundant; why fight something you cannot defeat? Plain stupid, run you fool! Or fly if you wish (tongue-in-cheek).
What is worse, I cannot stand a movie that leaves me with the feeling that I've just seen a 2 part TV episode... I know, I know, it's a trilogy, I could care less! I wanted closure on THIS move.
The next matrix that comes out will earn its way into my life only once the DVD is released, and as a rental.
