The longest movie trailer in history. Or was it the ad for no. 3? So bad it hurt.

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2003)

I was hit in the solar plexus by the first film. A gut reaction to a fantastic plot and state of the art effects and design. No. 2 was such a letdown. Words with no meaning, players in search of a plot, effects that looked slapped together that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Neo as Superman. Come now you guys. You can keep no. 3 for yourselves. I admire and respect the work of Messrs. Reeves, Fishburne, Weaving, Moss and Co. but am amazed they took part in something as flat and one dimensional as no. 2 became. I was really looking forward to this and after about 10 minutes could not wait for it to end. It could have been so good. All the elements were there. What happened?
