Slightly disapointing but good overall with unnecessary elements.

WARNING: DO NOT READ WITHOUT HAVING FIRST SEEN THE MATRIX: RELOADED!!!

Disapointing. First of all the 10 minute sex scene was very graphic and very unnecessary. Secondly, while the fight scenes are awesome, they were not vital to story line or plot line...why didn't Neo fly away from the Agent Smiths in the first place? Why did Neo need to fight The Oracle's guard? Why did there even need to be a guard in the first place? But I must admit that the plot goes deep and is interesting to discuss and try to figure out afterwards. However, as Rob VanLandingham put it in the newspaper, "it is not as mysterious anymore...the second part of a trilogy is usually weak." My closing remark is this: Good plot, superb fight scenes, even okay acting, but why does Neo have powers outside of the Matrix?
