My vote goes with the 'thumbs down' reviewers

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2008)

A complete load of old tosh. The lack of any real plot, (with something between 'Theology for Beginners' and simple New Age gibberish competing to try to form this), leads to over-compensation in the special effects field. The latter are used again, and again, and again, and... to portray endless 'battles' between the (human) Goodies and the (Machine) baddies and fights between the three main protagonists and 'Smith', (who comes to represent...oh, that's right, because the plot is so poor, you never really understand what!). Of course, because these battles and fights are so similar and so protracted, they become, like the film as a whole, unbelievably b-o-r-i-n-g and by about half way into the film you really could not care less who wins "the War", you just want the thing to end and to justify your video rental money by enduring this torture until the closing credits. What also contributes to this, of course, is the fact that the characters are just human computer game figures by this stage, lacking in humour or any real discernible human emotion to such an extent that, when Neo and Trinity do show their 'love' to each other, it comes across as a scheduled 'emotion check' between the battle/fight scenes and just as authentic as a fifteen dollar note. No, this, (together with the other sequel predecessor, (which was bad, but not to the same degree as this turkey)), should stand as the all-time warning to any director/writer responsible for producing a truly brilliant film, (which the original 'Matrix' certainly was), and who is thinking of producing a/future sequel/s by calling up inside them a little voice, saying, "Are you REALLY sure?"
