Matrix, re-run. Doesn't live up to the hype.

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2003)

I was waiting with great anticipation for this movie to come out and walked out of the theater dissapointed. The original Matrix was so smartly written. Matrix Reloaded seemed like it was built from the ground up around the fight sequences, which were well done but just went on too long and seemed to serve little purpose in the plot. It just seems like almost every other movie stamped out of the Hollywood mold...gratuitous sex(which added nothing to the story), car chases & fight sequences...to cater to the 17-25 year-old demographic. I was actually bored at times...I was wishing I had a remote control to hit fast-forward. Not a BAD movie, just not a GOOD one. I'll watch the next Matrix movie...but on video.
