As Neo himself said: Upgrade!

Neo has now a lot more powers and special abilities, he can even fly like Superman.

This movie has a lot of nice action and a lot more people are now involved in the story. This is not necessarily better, especially Jade Pinkett Smith and others seem like they only side-track the story. The Wachowski Brothers must have thought It's a good way to open possibilities for a spin-off series or video games.

The whole Zion situation feels like it's just slowing down the story. And why is everyone dancing like they are some ancient tribe members who smoked too much pot?

Monica Bellucci looks amazing and it's fun to see how she plays with the feelings of Neo and Trinity.

There are some interesting new enemies and Hugo Weaving as agent Smith is a cool character. Keanu Reeves does a nice job again portraying Neo, but in the first movie he felt more relatable because he was more human. In this movie Neo and Morpheus look like a rock that can't feel any pain.

Most of the fights are well choreographed but the fight between Neo and all the agent Smith clones was clearly CGI, it feels like you're watching a cutscene in a video game.

The movie sometimes feels to heavy with all its serious messages and riddles. There's something like taking one self too serious.

But all in all this is a nice action movie. The big chase scene on the highway is very nice indeed. If they had made it a bit shorter and less heavy, I would probably have rated the movie a bit higher.
