I can barely wait for Matrix revolutions

AWESOME!!!
Those expecting more of the first movie do get it and then some !! John Gaeta's Special FX will leave everyone else biting the dust. The intricate choreography of the fight sequences and the meticulous planning and detail that went into storyboarding the effort really shows.
It does slow down a tad in the middle as it tries to show us Zion and introduces us to a plethora of characters. Also, despite the WOW factor of the new scenes, the novelty of bullet time and wire fu has worn off so other than the sensory overload, one may not be too impressed.
But being the second part of the trilogy, it needs to establish characters who will play an important part in this as well as the next movie. Some of the scenes and outfits in Zion almost reminded me of Coruscant and the senate in Star Wars episode I/II.
But past that , being a big comic book, computer and a kung fu nut, I cannot think of any other flick that can ever top it unless the revolutions goes one step further.
But prospective viewers be warned, a lot of the one on one dialogue hacks away at the intricacies of the man-machine relationship and weaves an intricate web so follow along closely for what you hear may be pertinent but not important and vice versa to paraphrase one of these memorable exchanges between Neo and a important guy (No spoilers, but just listen very carefully after he opens a door near the end of the movie). Also, unless one is into computer programming, some of the jargon with regard to copies, deletes, purpose, backdoors, keymaster etc. may escape comprehension, I strongly advise befriending a friendly neighborhood nerd that can help you make sense of it.
A kick ass movie, Wow!!! When is fall coming? I can't wait for Matrix Revolutions.
