Matrix disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (18 May 2003)

Well, I can't remember the last time I've been so disappointed by a so expected film. The whole feeling that preveals throughout the movie is : déjà-vu. It is boring. Neo speaks, fights, speaks, fights, fights, speaks. This is a good summary of the plot, don't expect to see more than that. The first matrix innovated for its special effects. This one is just the same, seen too many times in other movies now. The plot ? Very thin. We don't learn much. The characters are empty and shallow. They say something and just the opposite after just to look smart. The visuals are bad, chaotic. I think people will look later to Matrix, Reloaded as we look today to many scien-fi flicks of the fifties : pretentious and out of date. I won't bother to watch the third episode.
