Thrilling - but fading in mystery

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2003)

What can we expect? The story has not lost its grip, the special effects are spectacular and the actors still impress. Who would have thought that I would enjoy yet another car chase or fighting scenes with meticulous choreography? This time I certainly did. Still I miss the awe and wonder from the first ten minutes of "The Matrix" -struggling to comprehend what I saw or thought I saw. Brilliant, but not magical.
