The Matrix Unloaded
What happened? My guess is that the Wachowski brothers sold out to the true Machine, the Babylonian Brotherhood, which keeps our minds and bodies captive through religion, drugs, money, laws, and myriads of other methods. The first Matrix movie must have scared the living shit out of them, so they told the Wachowskis to tone down the next one or else. The Wachowskis, who may actually be the renegades I hope they are, complied by making such a watered-down, stupid, teen-age parody of the original as to make it blatantly obvious that it wasn't their Matrix at all.
There isn't a single character I can relate to in this one, with the possible exception of the fleet commander. I almost wish Cypher had succeeded in his mission the last time, but since he didn't, I just want the machines to wipe out Zion and get the whole fucking travesty over with.
For those who want to know more about how the real matrix works, read David Icke, Jim Marrs, Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand, Zecharia Sitchin... email me if you can recommend others.
