Too much spent on effects.

Rating: 3/10 (9 November 2003)

A slow start to the film leaves you yawning in an effort to stay awake. For the lovers of effects, it is a festival of computer graphics that will leave you awestruck if you can stay awake through the starting dialogues. For those looking for a story, find it elsewhere... After the special effects start around the middle of the film, the story goes AWOL.
The superhuman skill gained by Neo should have stayed in the Matrix but somehow he has become some kind of superhero in real life as well which adds to the loss of credibility the original film had to begin with. With the first Matrix, it had you wondering if it could actually be true and that we may just be part of some monsterous game of "The Sims" played by an advanced AI. The second lost some of that credibility and the third destroyed it altogether.
In all, a very lame ending to a very original idea.
