It was just as shallow as the first film but hey, it was a cool action romp and had some very interesting moments.

I liked the CG style, which some have criticised, although it has a feeling of not quite knowing if it wants cell shaded or 3D. It definitely built on the previous movie’s style and excellent visuals.

As a well seasoned fan of all things to do with The Matrix, I have to hold up the board and cry foul at the blatant copy that occurred towards the end. No spoilers, I just felt it was a bit blatant, even if it was appropriate ;)

Overall I’ll give it a 7/10, it was a good film and the addition of Tereus to the mix did add something to what threatened to be, and still was at times, a rewind/repeat of the first film.
