Can you say... "Director's Cut"?

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2003)

Oh please!!! You've got to be kidding me?! This film was so mediocre and boring. Obviously this is what happens when the Writer is also the Director is also the Executive Producer. It was like watching a bad video game on steroids. Besides the insufferable dialogue, I found myself incarcerated to every scene, after scene, after scene. Whatever happened to pacing? Every scene just dragged on and on, starting with the initial overdone dream sequence and continuing right on through the Caligula-like rock video. Oh, and how about that schoolyard brawl?! Where's Mike Tyson when you need him? After ten minutes of that I couldn't take it anymore. Help, please someone get me out of the Matrix!!!
Forget waiting for the celebrated 14-minute car chase, I can see that on the "405" any day. So, if you think you can withstand Neo's ridiculous Archbishop "geddup", bad dialogue, a vague story-line, never ending scenes, repetition and over-stimulation...then I would certainly recommend the Matrix Reloaded to you!!
