It was pretty good but I expected the special effects to be better since there were moments thru out the film that looked painfully obvious that it was computer generated. They could have worked on that a little more to make it more real. The sneek peek trailer after the movie was over was cool. Can't wait til November 1st! Hopefully, they are still working on the last one to improve the special effects. just my 2 cents.

Saw it last night....definitely thought it was worth seeing. I agree w/the 9/10 score, maybe just because I was expecting something new, whereas it was just like the original matrix continued.

I am going to say 10/10. Sure the first had more gun fights but this has more combat. The story is needed, it just can't be all fighting. You really don't want to miss the beginning. Remember the first did stuff not seen before. You can't expect radical change. The progression is definately there. I was there last night 10:15pm and it was great. Previews rocked aswell.

BTW-the ending credits let me to believe alot of people got paid or ripped off...

That film was NOWHERE near as good as the first and had none of the class the first film had. The only ones that appeared to carry over perfectly from the first film were Neo and Trinity. Everyone else was just trying way too hard to "act." The special effects were incredible...but that is a given. The hedonistic, in your face, sex-fest rave scene they had was completely uncalled for and really tasteless. It ruined the entire film for me and the sad thing is that it happened before the action started. Speaking of action starting....can I get a pillow for the first hour? Neo flying around like Superman was ghey. Hopefully Revolutions will restore my faith in the series because I was pretty let down. Over hyped and overdone. They just tried too hard with this one.

BTW...stay until all the credits roll and see the preview for Revolutions.

i thought the movie rocked.

the audience added to the experience quite nicely. after the fighting scene in the park, the audience replied with a boisterous ovation.

the soundtrack complemented the movie very well.

go see it with your friends now.

damn, grant hill is going to be hella rich.

and BAM! that's how "free- mind" humans in zaion lived.
First off it is Zion not Zaion. Second of all "free-mind"...uhhhh what the heck are you talking about? They weren't free at all. They live in a cave below the surface of the supposed earth where the Matrix exists EDIT: Edited for content to not give away movie elements. Raj

unpredictable, uncontrolled and raw, it's what "free- mind" humans are.
Actually that's what lust filled, Romany orgy loving, greedy, hedonistic, and superficial humans are all about. Not "free-minded." It's just the establishment media's way of telling you it's ok to act like this and that you should act like this. Only people with no values, no class, and a supposed "free-mind" would act they way the did.

It's a shame you condone it. The next thing you'll be saying is that "Better Luck Tomorrow" was a good film and that is what life and "free-mind" is all about.

that scene is there to tell the ultimate diff. between the real humans in zaion and matrix/ machines.
What?? So that scene is there to tell us that in the end we all revert back to our animalistic caveman days and lose all grip on evolution. Give me a farking break.

Maybe those of us on either sides of the coast have a different view than those from the bible belt?

zion and zino must got mixed up in my head.
wait, is it zino or zaino? haha.

anyhow,
at some point brother morpheous says "we freed more minds than we did in 6 years..." or something like that.
so, i quoted that. they are still strapped in zaino... uh... zion,
but their minds are free, aren't they?

... hmm? who says revert back?
i'm just talking about being un- artificial and controlled.
