Seemed to well fit its original anime nature

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2003)

Some people might not realize that the Matrix is actually based off a manga series (Japanese comic book-like anime). My younger sibling is big into the whole anime scene, and said that this movie (even more so than the first) follows very strongly the nature of much anime - lots of cool fight scenes, with philosophical pondering in between.
I felt that a few scenes were a bit drawn out (such as the rave/sex orgy that went forever long, and had absolutely no point other than further attracting male viewers). And it lacks the full depth and spontaneity of the first movie. But I liked it, and I think the plot went well, when they got around to advancing it.
I'm curious to look up the original manga series after the third movie is out, as well as the Animatrix - a 10-part anime prequel to the movies, done by the same brothers.
