Anxiously Awaited This Sequel To Achieve Great Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2005)

The Matrix was a marvelous head game played on the viewer--made you leave the theater wondering if you were living in the matrix or if it could be real. The sequel played no mind games on the viewer. Instead the viewer got all the action of a Bruce Lee kung fu movie, a lot of dazzling special effects, a disjointed story and an absolutely stupid celebration scene at Zion. This movie captured none of the essence of the original movie. The car chase scene which was interesting was already done in the French Connection, years ago, The only scenes that interested me really were those involving the Merovingian--mainly because he was an interesting character. This sequel so turned me off that I did not see and do not intend to see the third in the sequence.
