What a waste of my time and money. Yet another "Sci-Fi" film without much sci-fi.
Let's see, what was wrong with this film:
1. Boring fights. If you've seen "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", you know what to expect. Which you would think would be cool, except we've seen it all before. Boring, boring boring!
2. Ludicrous massive car chase where all the cars are obviously being driven over ramps on two wheels, causing them to flip wildly and explode into small, thermonuclear explosions. I LOL'd when the bad guy, after shooting about 4 clips worth of rounds into the good guys' car, finally shoots the tires of the car out! We've seen this kind of car chase before, and it was done with much better style and panache in "Smokey and the Bandit".
3. WTF is up with that weird, slow-motion dance sequnce in Zion? I must be getting old, because that part didn't move me at all, I was just sitting there thinking "WTF is this?"
What I actually liked about the film:
1. Mostly Black actors as the heroes. It was good to see that a majority of the good guys were black. That being said, Morpheus goes through the whole movie reciting lines like he's got a bad case of gas and doesn't want anyone to know about it. Talk about wooden acting and wooden dialogue!
2. The restroom scene where the bad guy's chick demands a sensuous kiss from Neo while his babe watches, was cool.
3. I liked the Keymaker character, he was a sneaky little bastige that I was hoping was going to make it through the film in one piece.
Really guys, this film could've been so much better. I am not satisfied by explosions and passe' action sequences that have been done better many times before.
If they would've put more "head candy" into the film, it would've been much better. Instead, they copped out and went the "eye" candy route.
If the original "The Matrix" was Aces High, then "The Matrix:Reloaded" can be thought of as "Janes WW2 Fighters".
'nuff said, don't waste your money.
One thumb down.....WAY down
