shrug I really liked it. It felt like Lana Wachowski re-imagining what they really wanted to do for the first movie, but now 20 years wiser and more experienced. I loved how it brought in more color--some scenes almost reminded me of Speed Racer with all the hues.

The script has some very interesting ideas and a really entertaining anger toward its own existence. The actual filmmaking however is really cheap and poorly done. Bad editing, bad shots, bad fight choreography.

Is it bad or is it just different from original Matrix and on a higher resolution/framerate? The cinematography reminded me of Jupiter Ascending which wasn't bad imo.

#25I have been watching it in 15 minute segments. It is pretty good. Keanu Reeves and Carie-Anne Moss have a nice 30 minute interview on YouTube about making the sequel. I recommend the interview.
So good you can only watch 15 minutes before moving to something else?

#26One review put it nicely. It's better than the sequels... They were so awful. This, I didn't need it. I expected the worst. It exceeded my expectations and was reasonably entertaining. The two other sequels were awful.
The second film will probably stand forever as one of the most monumental achievements in practical action and stunt cinematography. Look into the making of the highway chase scene, it's unbelievable and what they did building an entire highway for all the stunts. Kind of like the real chariot race in the 50's version of Ben Hur, there are some movies that do something so spectacular it will never be done again.

#27I had really cynical expectations for this film, as someone who saw the original in theaters, loathed the sequels and other related media, and even have The Matrix DVD as my first purchase (still in my order history!) from Amazon in 1999, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

#29First matrix movie i turned off half way through. I stopped listening to the dialogue after 10 minutes because it was so dreadful but I had hopes that it was just made intentionally bad to make a point or something.
It wasn't. This is the best they could do and it's awful.

#30Problem with this movie is that is it was forced. According to one interview with the director, they said that a family loss prompt them to write some story as a coping mechanism, which ended up being adapted to a studio forced cash grab Matrix movie. So what a natural lack of effort and inspiration, what was great about the first 3 - the dread, sense of threat, etc... is simply gone.
Having said that, i found it mostly enjoyable and a good resolution to Neo's arc. Don't think i will repeat viewing.
