What a pity

Rating: 4/10 (30 May 2003)

*Spoiler Alert*
Another movie in the time honored tradition of screwing it up at the sequel.

The characters are now cardboard two-dimensional, Zion is like it came out of a 50's B movie, the fights are almost without a reason, it ends suddenly without closure (OK so there is the third Matrix coming, but this is no excuse).
On the positive side it has one of the greatest chase/fight scenes and it introduces the interesting concept of renegade programs running around the Matrix. Other than that it rides on the popularity of the original, in my opinion.
And finally, releasing it almost at the same date worldwide is a pretty cool move. (Too bad, it didn't make the movie any better)
