Matrix Reloaded capsule review

(You have no idea what it's like trying to remember not to cross my legs. I always cross my legs. It's a trademark).

Stefan & I went to the Warner village west end or whatever it's called on Leicester Square to view the fillum, and went and sat in the front row.

It is very silly, very pretentious and fun. the fight scenes are beautiful, particularly the guy fighting Neo before allowing him to see the Oracle and the hallway / stairs deal. the cgi was at points, desperately awful but I wondered if they didn't really mind that since they wanted it to feel like a computer game anyway. Annnnd I was thinking about all the cod-spiritual-bollocks. If you were reading this as a comic book, then that's the kind of thing that, if the characters are well drawn, just keeps the series ticking along.

Anyway. It's "alright". I'd watch it again for the fight scenes but I did actively groan out loud in several speechy scenes. the Dancing scene was... awful.
