Very disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2004)

After all these years of waiting for the original Matrix sequels, this was a real disappointment. I thought that the whole point of the first Matrix was to show that Neo was The One and that his destiny was to destroy the matrix and free all of humankind. Apparently, that was all wrong.(WARNING-SPOILER!) He makes a deal with the evil robots, sacrifices himself, and the humans get to go on living in their crumby underground city. The machines free the humans who don't want to be used as batteries anymore, and everyone live crappily ever after. Whoopidy-doo.
It's like the Wachowski brothers just stopped caring. There were SO many STUPID things that happened in this movie. First of all, why didn't the people of Zion have a bunch of electro-magnetic-pulses set up IN ZION? Those stupid robo-warrior suits must have used up a lot of Zion's resources and they sure weren't a very effective when it came to defending the city. Also, when did Neo become SO STUPID? He stands around in his hover-craft, talking and fighting with Bane, who is so obviously possessed by the evil Agent Smith. Over and over again, Neo says, "Who. . . are you?" This goes on for about 30 years and you really start wishing that Agent Smith/Bane would just KILL Neo and put him out of his stupid misery. Then the movie ends, giving you more questions than it does answers. My suggestion to you is to simply deny the existence of the two Matrix sequels. Go through life pretending that they only made the original Matrix. You'll be happier that way.
