Bravo!!!

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2003)

I had the good fortune to see it in the opening long weekend, and may I say Bravo to this movie. The story carries over extremely well, and the visual effects are nothing short of incredible. There's just the right element of action, drama, and a little humor to keep you riveted. Now, the critique. I have to say, despite the immense coolness of the fights, some have the fringe tendency to drag on a little too long. Not by much, but the feeling is there. Also, I was hoping the twins configured more heavily in this film, but they don't get quite the screen time they should have had. Major gripe - what happened to Tank? He survived the first movie, but here he's disappeared. There is a tiny hint that might be the answer, though.
The superman thing - woohoo. The last time Neo does it is, not to spoil anything, intense. Now, the ending. Yes, when that cliffhanger jumped up there, I did emit a choice combo of profane vocabulary. But at least it keeps us wanting to see the third. Also, the game that adjoins the movie is superb. See the movie, then play the game.
