what a royal rip-off!!!

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2003)

Matrix - The Movie, ended where it did. The makers realising the enormous potential of the huge hit decided there was more money to be made and worked out some ill-conceived plot, offcourse nobody knows what it is, you have to watch The Matrix Revolutions to find out, which goes by the name of The Matrix Reloaded. Offcourse every Matrix fan is going to go back to the theatres to see the second helping of Matrix (just like i did) and because this movie leaves you in limbo you have to go back and see the Matrix Revolutions to see what it is all about anyway.
It might well turn out that the second part of Matrix (which has been split into 2 movies as reloaded & revolutions) has a tight plot and great fun, but frankly i am quite dismayed at the fruitlessness of this movie. extremely disappointing and disingenious way of ripping off the hard-earned bucks off the matrix fans.
shame on you guys!
the movie in itself offers a glimpse of a plot which hopefully will be 'unraveled' in revolutions. the action scenes were boring and repetitive, honestly i was quite tired of the multiple agent smith stunt scenes. pointless. monica bellucci is the real payoff, she looks devastatingly beautiful. and offcourse we are going to believe that hte episode with her was there for a real reason, whether it is true or not we will know come december. the highway stunt scene was the only bit of excitement in the movie. stil the movie had enough going for it, just wish that reloaded n revolutions was put together in one movie so i wasnt getting ripped off.
a disgraceful 5!
