Too Much and Not Enough

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2003)

this was really disapointing. to say the least. this movie tried to succeed the first by throwing plot twists and new characters and confusing surprises at it's viewers. it tried to be all trippy with the "mind blowing" camera angles and special effects, but these were no different from the first movies, yet it worked better in the first one because it was also accompanied with plot and the characters even seemed more interesting in the first movie.
i guess i'm being a little harsh in this movie, because i would be extrordinarily hard to beat the original Matrix. but i just fell short. they tried to keep the movie alive by creating new plot ever half an hour, but it could have been a lot better if it would have just stayed on one plot, because that is one of the things that made the first so much better. the characters also seemed a little dead in this one. they aren't as interesting.
this movie did have some pretty cool action scenes, though. the parts on the freeway kicked ass. but there needs to be a successful plot to go with good action sequences. i'm just hoping that Revolutions the will properly pick the movie back up in a good conclusion. i am looking forward to Revolutions, though. 7/10
