We are not that rotten in zion
7 November 2003
We are not that bad. Yes there was some feel of the Ten Commandments at the speech by Zion. But in this film the people of Zion are not worth saving after their disgusting mush scene. The human race is not very likable as portrayed in the film which makes it very hard to want to see Zion saved.

They jump around and have a goofy love scene as preparation for the final conflict and we hardly feel like this is a noble cause. Cause to save what? Reeves is always trying to get a quick kiss thus he does not really seem like the chosen one after we see his washed out computer cafe type groupie. The weird French chic and French guy seem out of some artsy underground film.

The action though is cool. It is not the type of intensity of the individual battles of the first one. It does have a number of good action moments. Jackie Chan should have been in this in Matrix meets Chan. It is worth seeing but needed to cut some of the talk and all of the mushy parts. The philosophy and action is fine. Is choice an illusion? I say choice is not an illusion.
