Matrix: Reloaded

A lot more time and a lot more money yield a lot more bang-bang-bang for your buck. All of the philosophical blah-blah-blah and all of the rules muddy the simple fact that this is a rescue movie. Rescue the dude with the key. The “Zion” scenes are actually boring, and only fill in the back-story, which is ironically in the future. You often wish the Wachowskis would just cut to the “gun foo.” Eventually they do with beautifully directed and edited action sequences, massive in scope. It’s satisfying, but it takes way too long to reveal that like most movies, it was always a love story.
