The Matrix Reloaded

The original Matrix film is one of my favorite movies. Sure, the plot's got some problems, and there's some stuff that's hard to accept, but I was able to overlook all of that while watching it, because it really drew me into the story. I had high hopes for the sequel, and was really looking forward to it. I think that's part of the reason why I was so disappointed by it. I set my hopes too high, I guess. Short, non-spoiler comments: The visual effects are great, the story is terrible. For those of you who have already seen it and are interested in why I wasn't delighted, see my spoiler-filled rant.
