For all you whinny babies out there.

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2003)

You people out there who are complaining about this movie are really getting on my nerves. If you're going to pick apart the movie at least make an intelligent argument. I understand that there will be some people out there who don't like it and I can understand. Opinions are out own, but too many people are complaining about dumb things in a stupid way.
First off, this is NOT a sequel. Like the Two Towers it is a continuation of the story and they did a good job keeping up the quality level of the first. Any calling this a sequel has no idea who film or trilogies work.
YES, there wasn't the mystery of the first, but how could there be? It's part two of the story. Personally I think they did a good job keeping in mind how people would bash the second. It's the hardest part to make. You think you can do better? You write and direct a movie with this many layers? Not as easy as you think.
It is not a perfect movie by any standard. The "Tribal" scene, NOT A DAMN RAVE, was too long and unnecessary. Understand it was trying to show the nature of humans being tribal beings. It was NOT some MTV crap video. Like I said it was too much though.
Yes some of the fighting was CG, but if you care to listen to the people making the movie, they did that on purpose. This is supposed to be a false reality and they took many of their ideas from Anime, philosophy, religion, etc.
The expectations imposed upon this movie were unfair to begin with. Like Episode One (which was a much worse movie than this) nothing could ever live up to that. What's enraging is that it wasn't even the film makers who creaded this hype. It was YOU the viewers. To all those people out there complaining about how boring it talky it is at times and then saying the action was dull? Pick one and stick with it.
The story was great. And stop complaining about too many unanswered questions. It's half a movie. Did you want them to answer everything and have a third movie with nothing in it?
Also, posting that it wasn't smart and they would wait for T3 to see if it delivered. If that's your idea of a smart movie, you have no business watching the matrix to begin with.
