Don't let someone trick you into thinking this is a good movie.

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2003)

The action scenes are the only reason to see this movie, and those aren't very good. All of the heart and soul of the first movie is absent. There was no urgency or anxiety. The movie is overly long and could have been much better if they were a lot more time conservative. Some things need to be on the cutting room floor.
The CGI work, while technically good, is highly flawed. Any viewer with 20/20 vision will be able to spot "digital Keanu" without even trying. Personally, every time I saw "digital Keanu" it took me out of the movie and put me back in my seat at the movie theater.
Fishburne's performance is wooden. And if that's the case, Reeve's performance must be stone. If they ever make a new Star Trek movie, they need to hire these guys. They'd make perfect emotionless Vulcans.
Don't let someone tell you that "it's only the second part, wait for the next one." If it were just the second part of a three act movie, then they wouldn't charge me $7.50 for each one. It is impossible for this movie to stand alone on its own merits. It has no beginning or end.
