Very disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (15 May 2003)

I guess my expectation for this movie was too high, but I was really disappointed. This was essentially a CGI fest, not even the martial arts were worthy of "dropping jaws" - compared to any decent hong-kong kung-fu flicks, Neo moves like a geriatric, as well as everyone else who fought. The script is poorly written, the dialogues were wooden, long, boring and confusing, and most of all, the action was terrible. There is NO chemistry between Neo and Trinity.
The philosophical messages in this one is not bad, but was nothing like the clarity and insight like what the first movie was... whereas in this one I found myself going blablabla at many scenes.
The only good part about this movie is the highway chase... boy that was pretty damn amazing.
Oh, did anyone notice the political pun? Where Neo was talking to the architect in the room with walls of screens. When the architect was talking about human corruption, we get a fleeting glimpse of ole' Dubya Bush on the screen. Hahaha, I thought that was great!
