Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2003)

Not as fresh as the first one, but pretty good. Observations (good and bad - spoilers and not)
1. Pussification of all the males in the movie:

Geez Guys, I don't mind strong women in a movie, but come on....Morpheous just sat around doin nothing but spouting "Gee you're good" to Niobe. (His role degraded to the guy that basically sits around and says "Without Neo, we're screwed". He was the guy in the first two flicks. Come on Morp, cut the strings.)

If Zee didn't have ole Link by the wonder wand, no one did. He's clutching a silver chain going "I'm coming home to you baby" playing with his pop pistol and she's out messing up alot of sentinel's day.

Neo, please, why do you need Trinity to do everything? She's pulled your bacon out of the fire in all THREE MOVIES! Stand on your own.

Ok, let's make a movie where women are strong and not puss out all the guys to prove it.
2. If I had to listen to another "He's the One" speech from Morpheous, I'd barf. We all know he's the one.
3. Battle scene for Zion -- good, but way too long. There's a point where you start to cheer for the sentinels.
4. (WARNING -- SPOILER -- WARNING) Gosh, What was the point with the extended death scene for Trinity? It lasted so long that I was urging Neo to break her neck to put her out of her (and our) misery.

5. The Ending ( SPOILER ) It was the only way it could have ended. I left not liking it at first, but it made sense. Simply put: From the begining, Neo was the guy that was going to stop the war and free the humans. He did it. He created that which threatened both the humans and the machines and he used it to stop the war. Everyone is happy and life goes on (cept for Neo and Trinity)

Ok, over all, it was an above average movie. It wasn't as near as good as the first, but it was a much improved change over the second. I'm spending the money to see it again and I'm buying the DVD.. I give it 8 out of 10. (Doubters..go see it again!)
