90% Pleased, 10% huh?

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2003)

The movie didn't disappoint- a thoroughly fun ride from start to finish. A couple of sequences were choppy- the much-ballyhooed freeway chase was well done, but the subsequent few minutes were awkwardly arranged- almost to the point where I asked my friend if it were a preview for the third movie.
The twins are now the new 'Darth Maul' of the movie world, as "cool villains who didn't get enough face time." The development with the Smith character is intriguing, but the underlying info you learn about the Matrix, well... It reminds me of another recent movie, but out of respect for those who haven't seen it, I'll decline to compare it directly.
A mini-trailer for the third film follows the credits, so if you're curious, don't leave before it's done.
Any Matrix fan should (and likely will) enjoy this film. Those few unfamiliar with the series need to go get the first movie & watch it right away, then go see this one.
