I wish there were a better refund policy at theatres.

Rating: Null/10 (12 November 2003)

There are scant words to describe how abysmal this movie was. The plot line surrounding the characters we know and love was minuscule, leaving us to suffer through third rate acting done by horrible community theatre actors. Neo, Morpheus and Trinity, having recently been separated, go about their various tasks to save Zion, the last human city. During the course of the movie we meet at least a dozen, nameless, meaningless heroes, who either A.) Die heroically, or B.) Take up the call to arms after others do. These people had no point, and this movie would have been better without them. The story that the Wachowski brothers try to tell is drowned by the over reaching special effects, and horrible tailor made scenes, which in effect overpower the subtlety that I admired about the first film. In essence I did enjoy the portion of the plot surrounding Neo, but Keanu Reeves dreadful acting made it difficult to believe that he was really feeling anything, both at the loss of trinity and at the grim fate awaiting him. In short. Save your money, wait for the video, or my personal suggestion, its T.V. Premier in about a year or so.
