Matrix Reloaded

[philrancid]

Finally saw it today, and I dunno what the other folks are saying, but my kids, who were with us, and were mystified into stock-still gape-mouthed watching by the first film, ran all up and down the theater during this one. It has a definite way-station feel to it, as though you are on your way from this film to the next, and while it had some definite moments, i don't think it worked as well as a stand-alone film. I can very easily see myself watching it right before perhaps the final episode, but not just by itself. Of course I'm glad i only have four more months to wait for the next one...
