uneven

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2003)

Alright... I realize that the second movie in a series has some difficulties to begin with. People already know most of the plot so to develop that seems pretty pointless. There is almost no plot development here but I think I can live with that.
Comparing this to the first movie seems therefore unfair but what is one to do?
Where the first movie was very philosophical this just seems like plain action. Not much thought behind the plot and different realities. Further the action scenes that were so different and new in the first one are still there to some extent but you can sense the computer technology behind the camera (so to speak). At some points it seems like the actors are hanging in string.
So what do I think about the concept as a whole? I think it's very uneven, at points it's really good (mostly at the end). Sometimes it's a real drag though and I think it's mostly because of the lengthy fight scenes. It feels like they could be reduced by several minutes to give the movie a more healthy length.
Too long Too ordinary
BUT I liked the last few minutes so I'll give it 6/10
