Umm.. ok, but the next one is good right?

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2003)

Ok, there are some cool scenes in this film, but the Zion looks like it's populated with the cast of Stomp and the obvious book-ending made the last act in the Matrix a bit predictable. However, the biggest issue I have with the film is that the fight scenes are so extreme that the audience was sometimes laughing, particularly in the fight against the 100 agent Smiths-- it looked slapstick. The last few minutes give a clue to the next movie and what reality REALLY really is, but I'm just guessing and I'm not gonna tell. The movie sets its sights very high and does not quite make it.
