I was actually kind of annoyed by the first Matrix film. I grew to like it a little more over the years.
So I wasn't expecting much besides lots of action and special effects. I was not let down in that regard. That car chase was, as they say, "off tha chain."
The storyline itself was as murky and confusing as in the first movie. Actually, moreso. I felt like I should have read chapters 2-5 in my Matrix textbook before coming; perhaps I should have brought some note-taking materials along. I hope there's not going to be a test...(And I'm a pretty smart guy! I feel kinda bad for all the stupid people who must have felt hopelessly befuddled by all that pseudo-Eastern philosophy talk.)
Anyways, I liked the movie just fine.
Check out
www.animatrix.com though. You can see 4 of the 9 Animatrix shorts there. They are actually worth downloading and seeing. All of the shorts will be collected on a DVD in June. Get them or make one of your friends get them.
And 100 points to Mr.Pestilence for that "The Warriors" reference!
