great continuation of the first

it's like retelling the matrix on a new level. they have many of the same characters, and you begin to learn even more about each of them. but you also begin to learn as neo did in the first matrix that things are not always as they seem. a light is shed on each caracter, and some people may not like what they see. most will be intrigued by it. my only problem with the film is that they have some great conversations that really make you think, and some action scenes that really make you drool. however, it's either one or the other, and some scenes were so long that one could almost consider them monotonous. they also need to try to stay away from the star wars theme. any more similarities and i'd expect a wookie to pop up from the center of the matrix and start bashing things.
