Atrocity

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2005)

If the system would allow me to give this movie a zero I would without thinking twice. The reason is because this movie shouldn't have been made to begin with. As far as I'm concerned by making the first movie (The Matrix) The Wachowski brothers were in fact battling the Matrix of Hollywood by creating a cutting edge film based on an amazingly original and refreshing idea against all odds. it was the type of film that could excite almost any human being, leaving everyone with a lot of food for thought. Rather than to let this movie remain a cult film, which will be respected on the highest of levels for years to come, the makers decided to belittle their original achievement by making the two sequels. Since the main motivation for this was the enormous amount of money that they were given by the studio I would say that the Wachowski brothers are now officially a part of the Hollywood matrix. (actually I think they should now be referred to as the Smith brothers.) Never have I seen a bigger cinematic sell out. This movie is the biggest piece of crap ever. cgi and special effects are interesting but only minor compared to a good plot. The first movie had a brilliant plot. This one had no plot. I literally fell asleep the first time I watched it. I then watched it a second time (please do not attempt this at home) and was furious throughout it's entirety. How could the Smithowsky brothers commit this atrocity? Do not watch this movie, do not rent it, do not purchase it, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars - Just Stay Away - if you are a real matrix fan.
