Worse Than I Expected

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2003)

I started to watch "The Matrix Reloaded" hoping that it would turn out as well as the first one or perhaps even better. I have to say, I was disappointed in the film. I thought some stuff was a bit phony and all of the scenes that take place out of the Matrix and in their home city of Xyon, or whatever, is just incredibly boring for me. Actually, it kind of reminded me of "Star Trek" or "Star Wars." Anyway, it just seemed to drag on and I didn't think it was that necessary. The whole Neo and Trinity thing can get pretty annoying and boring as well. I guess the fighting scenes were pretty cool, but then again, there were some scenes that Neo fought in and I would just think to myself "Why doesn't he just use his new flying ability that he's obtained and get out of there instead of going through all of this fighting?" It didn't make much sense. Overall, I think this is an okay film, but I was let down. I expected better.
