Very good interlude, average movie

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2003)

Like most people I went to the movie with great expectations. This movie was to be bigger, better and more impressive than the first matrix. And to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed during the first half hour. The special effects were amazing, but I missed a story. Fortunately minute by minute the movie became better, reaching its hight during a (spoiler(?)) 10 minute or so chase at a highway. For the rest, I have to say I was stunned by the special effects, and the end made me want to watch part 3, so it did what it had to do. But as a stand alone movie it was disappointing. No beginning, no middle, no end. So lets wait for revolutions, because there's no doubt it will be beyond imagination. It's a shame we have to wait so long...
