Glitch in the Matrix

Rating: 4/10 (3 June 2003)

You'll be forgiven for a feeling of deja vu when you watch this film. The opening sequence looks like a straight lift from the first movie - and the similarities don't end there. Other scenes (even some dialogue) appear to be lifted from the original film. It's a pity the brothers didn't try to copy the plot of the original movie - because this one doesn't have a plot. It's one chaotic action-scene-followed-by-wordy-dialogue after another. And eventually even the action scenes become boring. The film is too long for the flimsy storyline and there are too many characters to keep track of. My original enthusiasm turned into bewilderment -- which turned into sleep . Major disappointment. 4/10.
