For all you who went and saw this movie, what are your opinions?

Personally, I thought it wasn't as good as the first movie. I thought the trinity love scenes were overplayed. I thought that the plot was too all over the place instead of centralized. I thought that the big bad guy was too ambiguous. I think that by adding in so many opposing forces, they lessen the power of all those oposing forces and the bad guy winds up faceless. They should have spent more time creating the character of one main opposing force, even if that force wasn't named, at least they could have created a sense that it existed.

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE

well... in the first moie the eyepopping philosophical revelations happened pretty close to the mid-beginning but in this one it happened in the very end (and confused the hell out of me anyway) so I was waiting throughout the entire movie for something eyepopping and it just wasn't happening.


Positive: the many sides of Mr Smith, the medusa like ghosts, the idea of rogue programs and viruses and vampires and werewolves in the movie, the funny alduterous french guy/program who incurs the wrath of his wife, the gourgeous computer graphics of Zion, Neo's ability to fly, the funny look on the asian keymaker as he hops on a motorcycle behind a beautiful fit young women head-to-toe in leather, and, of course, the philosophical eye-opener at the end that Neo is just part of an endless cycle of anomoly-destroy matrix-destroy Zion-recreate both-anomoly, ect. ect.

Negative: the way-too-much-information aphrodisiac the french progam put into the woman's cake, the french guy's long speech on cause and effect, the way too much sex atmosphere, the stripper music in the scene of the Zion people orgy dance, the long and overdrawn scenes with the new crewmember and leaving his wife, the loss of the "mystery" in this one until the twist ending, the fact that we knew that everything couldn't be resolved in this film, and the pesky vindictive words at the end, "TO BE CONTINUED" damn them.

overall, positive beat out negatives but the real bad thing is that the first Matrix had NO bad points to it.

now a question...

-There are two doors at the end of the movie that Neo has to chose to go through-one to save trinity and one to destroy the Matrix. I missed some of what the Matrix creater guy said in his conversation with neo... is it no matter what door he picks Zion will still be destroyed? and all the other Neo's had always picked to destroy the Matrix which restarted the cycle again? and by not choosing that door then the Matrix lives? and that the choice was all about rationality and emotionality?... isn't there more to it than this?
