What I can do without is the orgy. Now that they have the
money to hire many extras and a elaborate set, they'd just go all out with it.
And I can do without most of the kung-fu fighting, really, enough
is enough.
And also the lucas-oid starwar-esque shakespeare-lized-line-delivery
of the Zion committee.
oh, also, following what's left from the first one, there're much
more interesting thing one can do with Neo's character, instead,
the added ability is that now he can fly, like superman (and worse
of it, the Link character actually has to remind us). There're some
shots remind me of 拳神. (it's visually more brilliant, but the idea is the same.)
And I'm not going into how good/obvious the CGs are or arguing the so called underlying philosophy.
It's great fun though, but considering the laugh for some point in
the movie is not intended by the directors.
I can't say it's a bad movie, but with the added hype to it, all I
can say is that the first one is a better movie. With a B movie
budget, they managed to make an entertaining and quite original B
movie, with the A movie budget, they managed to remind me of the
better first movie.
