Not as Powerful as the First

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2003)

Honestly, I wasn't that all impressed by the first Matrix, and my mood didn't change when I saw this one either. Yes, yes, I understand that the action sequences and etc were never before done, but that doesn't impress me much. I like story, and once again Matrix tried to survive on the solo purpose of it's action. The plot does thicken a bit, which was to say the least the most that impressed me about the movie. The motorcycle chase scene was absolutely stunning, and Neo's coat when he flies around was beautiful. The special effects were amazing, yes I will agree to that. But, you just can't have a movie that lives off special effects alone... at least not when it comes to what I enjoy in movies. I didn't feel any heat at all when it came to the love affair between Neo and Trinity. There is a scene where Neo and Trinity are having sex, while the rest of Zion is dancing in the temple to almost pop music. This did not impress me, and was probably the worst scene in the entire movie. And be forewarned they show Reeve's butt in this scene, cute as it may be, it wasn't needed in this movie. What I did like about this one that I hated about the last, was the story was thickened. You find out the truth about alot of characters, and about who Neo really is. Why he was ever allowed to be plugged into the Matrix to begin with. These parts made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
