Great action but a snore

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2003)

I saw this movie on a Friday night and granted, I had worked all day and I was tired, but I came THIS close to falling asleep during the interminable talking talking talking scenes. But I think the main downfall of this (and the original Matrix)is the lack of concern for the main characters. I really had no emotional investment in Neo or Morpheus or any of them, so it was hard to really care what happened. I told my friend after seeing the first Matrix the it was all style and no substance, and this movie continues the pattern. If you want to see an action movie, go see X-Men or better yet go see "Spellbound" and see the best movie of the year.
