Was this supposed to make sense?

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

Okay, I'm not the smartest kid on the block, but I think this should have made more sense. And I'm not a total numbskull either. I was able to get all the seasons of STNG and Voyager, even the teeth-itchers about time travel. I understood Plato's philosophical jargon, I understood genetics, and I even understood the whole concept of Stargate SG1. But This film made NO sense whatsoever.
Frankly, it seemed like an excuse to watch Keanu Reeves (a very sexy man, for the record) Jump around doing strange martial-arts kind of movements in an unflattering raincoat. The fight scenes are cool, if you want a movie where the understandable plot can be summarized in less then three paragraphs. Not that I minded drooling over Keanu for innumerable boring fight scenes, but I just kept thinking: "Can we get back to the plot yet?"

I had high hopes for this film. I loved the first one, and it has over time become one of my favorite films of all time. But seriously, They should have left it alone. It's like Terminator 3, they're just beating the Matrix to death!
The acting in this film was nothing to complain about, although I feel obligated to talk about Trinity. She is really a sad character... and I don't understand the romantic undertones to this film. It's understood that Neo and Trinity are madly in love during the huge orgy-ish scene in Zion. Instead of diving into her midsection using mildly cheesy graphics to retrieve the bullet, I think Neo would've done better to just shove her off the roof. It's one of those, "Oh puh-leeze" Moments when we just roll our eyes and go to the kitchen for a drink.
I could barley sit through this film. I just wanted it to be over. And Just for the record: The instrumental soundtrack was way overdone and cheesy. It's something straight out of a 40s B-movie.
