2003 was billed as the year of the Matrix, with this film, the Animatrix manga, the computer game 'Enter the Matrix' and The Matrix Revolutions all released within the span of that single year.

Most of which, nearly 20 years later, have largely been forgotten, with 'the Matrix sequels' almost becoming a by word for disappointing sequels.

Re-watching this back, it's actually not all bad: yes, there is an element of truth in the charge that this mid entry is over pretentious - especially in The Architect scenes - and that Niobe/Ghost scenes largely exist only to tie into the computer games - but there is also plenty to enjoy here - this is the film that has the 'burly brawl', the Merovingian chateau fight scene, the freeway chase and Neo going full-on Superman!

(And, yes, I used to think that, at the end, they were still in The Matrix, until Revolutions came out)
