The Matrix has grown sparse.

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2003)

The long awaited sequel of The Matrix has at last hit the silver screens. With great enthusiasm and expectation I had gone to the movie, but came back with a big disappointment.
Story, neither complicated as the former one nor philosophical. At some situations, the director tried to include some philosophy explaining choice, destiny and bla..bla..bla.. but the explanation makes the movie still boring. Special effects, as amazing as the previous one but may be we are used to slow motion shots, it is no more exciting. Technology, nothing novel but for the Agent replication. Although the motorcycle race is taken stunningly, it is nothing special on a movie of Matrix kind. May be my expectations have gone high!
The architect of the Matrix says at one point that the Matrix is quite old, Yes it is true. It is 4 years after the first release not only that Neo, Trinity and the Agent have grown old but for Morpheus. AT last, Trinity almost dies towards the end and I thought we will get another actress in the concluding part but she survives.
To make the movie still long and boring, there are couple of scenes totally not required. Link meeting his family and Neo-Trinity romance. They do not add any value to the movie. We could see Zion in this movie but it never looks interesting and we feel like asking for this only, all the trouble?
On a whole, the movie is ok, but can never compete with the first part. Let us hope if we get a better concluding part, if not the best.
