I should have checked out The Matrix and watched it before seeing this film, however, as an author books in a series pointed out, each installment should be able to stand on its own. TMR stands on its own, weird story which smells like it should be shallow behind special effects; good special effects, though fight scenes got tedious (ah, they're fighting, a good opportunity to nip out for a pee); chase scene was OK; characters and acting were at least much better than tiresome B5, DS9, Star Trek anything, but the sunglasses I forget the point of, was there one(?) same for all that action in a long coat, riiiight.
I couldn't help but think the point of the whole sequence was to meet Colonel Sanders. The architect struck me as someone who might offer Neo a bucket of fried chicken parts at any moment.
All in all, it was above average, but far from the best I've seen. Trailers before the film suggest few interesting films on tap for this summer. May have to resort to watching some old classics on DVD, as too many look like the same old Attitude, Preposterous story and Overuse of SFX conglomerations which mark the limitations of Hollywood imagination.
