The Matrix Reloaded: My fears confirmed

The movie is disappointing (NO SPOILERS):

1) It's too long and sorely paced.
2) Just too many gratuitous fight sequences.
3) The FX, while nice, weren't mind-boggling as in the first movie... and the coolest FX were overused.
4) The existentialist conversation was WAY overboard and contrived in this one.
5) The new characters' parts were inconsequential.
6) Increased (and unnecesary) graphic violence, profanity... even sexuality and suggestions of nudity.
7) Too many scenes of our heroes being saved from hopeless situations at the last minute.
8) A woman like Trinity would never be attracted to a guy like Neo.

I wanted to enjoy the film, but I think the Wachowski brothers fell off with this one. I think the three best things about it were:

* Nona Gaye's pretty face
* A cool new Dave Matthews song, and
* The trailer for the third film after the credits.

I thought this film would have been a slam-dunk.

This makes me REALLY REALLY REALLY hope the makers of the third X-Men installment will be extremely cautious.
