DISAPPOINTING

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2003)

This movie has clearly lost it's way.
Can one bad scene ruin a movie? How about a series of bad scenes? The make-out sequence in the elevator, Morpheous' sermon, the dance party and the love scene don't work, either individually or as a sequence.

Moreover, I don't understand why the Matrix can't be accessed from Zion. In the first movie, the location of Zion had to be kept secret from the machines. In this movie, the machines know the location of the city, so why not just access the Matrix from there?
This is just the first part of a 4-hour movie. Even so, it's not up to par with the original and is a big disappointment.
