What a show!!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2003)

Greetings
I went to see the movie on Sunday, and wow was I blown away!
In the first movie, the directors really did put there technological tricks in good use, with the famous term "matrix dodge" adding a whole new perspective on camera angles and how to really show off some sweet bullet dodging with the perspective of the one being shot at!
But with this film, it took it to a whole other level, one higher might I add. With mind blowing visual effects, such as the first scene where Trinity jumps out a window, and we show broken glass flying in bits and pieces, with the awesome sound effects to go with it!( By this time, I already began to literally drool in the theater, with my girlfriend screaming out:"EEWWW"!) Another great part, is the fighting scene ( heh, witch one? So many fighting scenes!!) where Neo is battling like 100 agent Smiths. They really did an excellent job at rendering all the agents and making it look so real!
As well as finally getting a fighting scene done right, instead of having one agent attack at a time, like in all other movies, we see like 5 agents rushing and punching there way to revenge! The way it should be done, I mean, come on, in real life, we would see a whole gang swarm around this one guy, instead of saying:"hey, eh Bill? Is it your turn to try and beat him up or is it Steve's?"...
The story itself blew me away. I remember asking myself:" I don't think the sequel is gonna be that good, I mean, the first one was all about knowing what the matrix is, so what are they gonna show us now to make an even bigger impact?" Now I know. The very fact of having Neo find the guy who INVENTED the Matrix and the explanation of Neo's being (that he's "the one")just adds so much more effect and understanding to the entire story!
All in all, the director's did a great job at not disappointing the public with another sequel. Instead, they succeeded in bringing forth a great trilogy, by combining love, action, a little bit of comedy and an amazing tale on to the big screen!
