Summary - Really Great 4.5

The plot proceeds with a good balance of action sequences (some of the best ever filmed) and character dialogue, instead of trying to dish the audience action at a furious pace, staying true to the 1999 predecessor, The Matrix.

Acting - Great 4.0

Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie Anne-Moss) have a lot of challenges in the sequel that explores more of the Matrix and introduces Zion to audiences. Trinity and Neo develop well as a couple who truly love and care for each other while Morpheus’ ideals and past get further exploration.

Film - Really Great 4.5

The fighting sequence in the park, though spectacular mirrors the gun fight near the end of the first Matrix film – great action, but little to further the plot or develop the characters. Other action sequences further the plot along better, most notably the freeway chase – definitely in this reviewer’s top 10 action sequences of all time.

Edge - Sordid 3.0

The violence level makes it rated R along with Monica Bellucci cleavage and Neo and Trinity’s love scene.

Reality - Surreal 2.5

Realistic action, but the scope puts that nice spin of escapism into the film.
